We are excited to announce that we've released the NanaZip 2.0 Update 1 and is now available for download.
Because the XAML Islands based UI stack used in Nana Series projects called Mile.Xaml has released 1.1 version with the Windows 11 XAML control styles and the immersive Mica effects support, the about dialog has been refreshed with these features.
There are also some screenshots of the Mile.Xaml demo and show the how lightweight it is.
@AndromedaMelody has done a lot for Mile.Xaml and suggested me to release a stable version with the Mile.Xaml's new features.
@Shomnipotence also suggested me to release a stable version because he has updated the tweaked application and file icon design and assets.
@dinhngtu have committed a fix for resolving the compatibility issues with Explorer Patcher and I think he also hopes to see the fix in the stable version.
So, this is why I have released the NanaZip 2.0 Update 1.
Because the XAML Islands based UI stack will be used in NanaZip is just released in the recent day. You won't see some features planned in 2.0 and need to wait for 2.1 Preview 1 because I need some time to implement:
- The first run notice window of Mark-of-the-Web which appeared in extracting archives. (So, the 2.0 won't enable MOTW by default.)
- The new hash algorithm selection window. (Because there are many hash algorithms added to NanaZip 2.0, it's necessary to have a selection window.)
- The XAML-based toolbar in the main window.
I also want to add a version release rule: The Preview 0 of the next version is as same as the stable of the current version except the version information for releasing both channels better. (For example, 2.1 Stable as same as 2.2 Preview 0 except the version information.)
