LumiBearStudio/OtterZip v1.2.1.0

OtterZip 1.2.1

on GitHub

Fixes a launch crash on 1.2.0. 1.2.0 could crash at startup on a clean
Windows install; 1.2.1 statically links the runtime so it launches everywhere.
Please use 1.2.1.

New

• RAR extraction — open .rar archives, including multi-volume sets.

Improved

• File timestamps are preserved on both compress and extract (restoring a backup keeps its original dates).
• Better CJK (Korean / Japanese / Chinese) filename handling in legacy-codepage tar archives.
• GitHub-style source tarballs no longer leave a stray pax_global_header file or double-nest the top folder.
• Encrypted 7z archives now report encryption correctly (lock indicator).
• Parallel-compressed tar.gz / .bz2 / .xz (pbzip2, bgzip, concatenated streams) extract every member.

Stability

• Highly-compressible files are no longer wrongly rejected as zip bombs.
• tar hard-links (Linux rootfs, Docker layers) extract with their real content.
• Truncated .deb packages are reported instead of silently succeeding.
• More accurate integrity testing (t) and hardening against crafted ISO / archive inputs.
