MilesAhead:
7-zip stable for Windows updated to 16.04.

Deozaan:
Why is this noteworthy?

IainB:
Well, it doesn't seem noteworthy, given the recent history of changes (see below), but then one never knows how significant those fixes/changes might have been for some users (including oneself). Generally any incremental bugfix or improvement is probably welcome in an archiving tool - given its relative importance in the software armoury. I had v16.03 and as a precautionary approach have just updated to v16.04 anyway, after reading this thread - I use the RAR functionality and also do some work under Vista - so, thanks for the heads-up @MilesAhead.

The update to 16.03 was quite recent and this may have flown under the radar.  Not to invoke DefCon 5 or anything.  :)  I know a lot of people prefer 7-zip especially on DC so I mentioned it.  :)

Deozaan:
I just checked and I was still on v9.x. I guess it's been a while since I updated it. :)
