Abbrevia 5.0 is now available. Abbrevia is a data compression toolkit for Embarcadero Delphi, C++ Builder, and Kylix, and FreePascal. It supports PKZip, Microsoft CAB, tar, gzip, bzip2 and zlib compression formats, and the creation of self-extracting archives. It includes several visual components that simplify displaying archives.
Abbrevia now officially supports FreePascal on Windows, OS X, and Linux, both 32-bit and 64-bit. It includes all changes from "fparchive" and, due to the number of bugs fixed since that release, I strongly recommend anyone using it upgrade. The visual controls and SDK wrappers for LZMA, PPMd, and WavPack are currently Delphi-only, but I'd welcome any assistance to fix that. This release adds a number of new features and support for more platforms: * RAD Studio XE2 support, including both 64-bit Windows and OS X * FreePascal support on Windows, OS X, and Linux * TAbTreeView and TAbListView VCL controls that provide an Explorer/WinZip-like interface * ZIP64 support, for archives larger than 2GB * Improved split/spanned zip support * Expanded LZMA support * Unicode filenames in tar and gzip archives This is a source-only release. It includes design-time and run-time packages for Delphi 6 through Delphi XE2, C++Builder 2009 through XE2, and Kylix 3. FreePascal is supported, but runtime/design time packages are not included.
