The difference is that the newer version requires a password before unzipping. Source code: git clone zipbomb-20210121.zip Data and source for figures: git clone The construction uses only the most common compression algorithm, DEFLATE, Reaching a compression ratio of over 28 million The output size increases quadratically in the input size, It expands fully after a single round of decompression. 'Non-recursive' means that it does not rely onĪ decompressor's recursively unpacking zip files nested within zip files: Overlapping files inside the zip container.

Now, I released the last update more than a year ago and I want to give all users who purchased on or after September 1st 2009 free access to version 2. That’s a pretty long period compared to the grace period most other developers give their customers. My upgrade policy has always been like this: When you buy BetterZip you get all upgrades (including major versions) within a year for free. If you find a bug and don’t report it, I’ll name it after you. The feedback part in the deal here is really important. If you are eager to put the new version through its paces and give me feedback on it, please send me an email. By the way, I am looking for beta testers. There are two more big and many smaller changes, but for these to be revealed you will have to wait a little longer.

And archivers are much smaller than persons… But I digress, where was I? With the lowest population density in the world, you need to search 40 square kilometres to find one person. Although in Greenland it need not even hide under a rock. Well maybe there is one, but it was hiding under a rock in Greenland. There is also a new queueing mechanism for batch extracting and compressing archives from the Finder in an ordered, civilized way.Ī great number of users asked for a way to reuse passwords, so I built a password manager for BetterZip that no other archiver in the world has. Hitting the space bar is deeply imprinted in my muscle memory.

It duplicates the functionality of the preview a little bit, but I find myself using both features in my day-to-day archive handling quite regularly. BetterZip 2 does away with them as well:Īnother cool feature is Quick Look inside archives. If you look at other applications in the Mac universe, drawers aren’t used anymore. The current version of BetterZip uses drawers for its filebrowser and the preview. The first thing that you will notice is, of course, the new user interface. There are many enhancements that will make the current version look rather dated. I will also let you in on a little secret today: BetterZip 2.0 is right around the corner and will be available soon. That means you can get it for US$9.99 in my web store and in the Mac App Store. To celebrate this anniversary, BetterZip is 50% off for the next five days, until Monday, May 9th. Since then BetterZip became one of the most powerful archivers for the Mac and yet it remained light-weight and easy to use. No options, no previews, no rar, no 7-zip. It could only open and create zip files and a few tar files. Looking back at that meager first version is a bit embarassing, but I guess that every evolving product sends the same shivers down their creators spines in retrospect. Five years ago today I released BetterZip 1.0.
