- New menu item in 7-Zip File Manager: "Tools / Delete Temporary Files...".
  This menu item opens a window showing temporary folders and files
  created by 7-Zip in the user's "Temp" folder on a Windows system.
  In this window, the user can delete temporary files.


24.03          2024-03-23
-------------------------
- 7-Zip now can use new RISCV filter for compression to 7z and xz archives.
  RISCV filter can increase compression ratio for data containing executable
  files compiled for RISC-V architecture.
- The speed for LZMA and LZMA2 decompression in ARM64 version for Windows
  was increased by 20%-60%.
- 7-Zip GUI and 7-Zip File Manager can ask user permission to unpack RAR archives that
  require big amount of memory, if the dictionary size in RAR archive is larger than 4 GB.
- new switch -smemx{size}g : to set allowed memory usage limit for RAR archive unpacking.
  RAR archives can use dictionary up 64 GB. Default allowed limit for RAR unpacking is 4 GB.
- 7zg.exe (7-Zip GUI): -y switch disables user requests and messages.
- 7-Zip shows hash methods XXH64 and BLAKE2sp in context menu.
- -slmu switch : to show timestamps as UTC instead of LOCAL TIME.
- -slsl switch : in console 7-Zip for Windows : to show file paths with
  linux path separator slash '/' instead of backslash separator '\'.
- 7-Zip supports .sha256 files that use backslash path separator '\'.
- Some bugs were fixed.

-------------------------
- 7-Zip now can unpack ZSTD archives (.zst filename extension).
- 7-Zip now can unpack ZIP, SquashFS and RPM archives that use ZSTD compression method.
- 7-Zip now supports fast hash algorithm XXH64 that is used in ZSTD.
- 7-Zip now can unpack RAR archives (that use larger than 4 GB dictionary) created by new WinRAR 7.00.
- 7-Zip now can unpack DMG archives that use XZ (ULMO/LZMA) compression method.
- 7-zip now can unpack NTFS images with cluster size larger than 64 KB.
- 7-zip now can unpack MBR and GDP images with 4 KB sectors.
- Speed optimizations for archive unpacking: rar, cab, wim, zip, gz.
- Speed optimizations for hash caclulation: CRC-32, CRC-64, BLAKE2sp.
- The bug was fixed: 7-Zip for Linux could fail for multivolume creation in some cases.
- Some bugs were fixed.
