+7-Zip Extra history
+-------------------
+
+9.35 beta           2014-12-07
+------------------------------
+  - SFX modules were moved to LZMA SDK package.
+
+
+9.34 alpha          2014-06-22
+------------------------------
+  - Minimum supported system now is Windows 2000 for EXE and DLL files.
+  - all EXE and DLL files use msvcrt.dll.
+  - 7zr.exe now support AES encryption.
+
+
+9.18                2010-11-02
+------------------------------
+  - New small SFX module for installers.
+
+
+9.17                2010-10-04
+------------------------------
+  - New 7-Zip plugin for FAR Manager x64.
+
+
+9.10                2009-12-30
+------------------------------
+  - 7-Zip for installers now supports LZMA2.
+
+
+9.09                2009-12-12
+------------------------------
+  - LZMA2 compression method support.
+  - Some bugs were fixed.
+
+
+4.65                2009-02-03
+------------------------------
+  - Some bugs were fixed.
+
+
+4.38 beta           2006-04-13
+------------------------------
+  - SFX for installers now supports new properties in config file:
+    Progress, Directory, ExecuteFile, ExecuteParameters.
+
+
+4.34 beta           2006-02-27
+------------------------------
+  - ISetProperties::SetProperties:
+      it's possible to specify desirable number of CPU threads: 
+           PROPVARIANT: name=L"mt", vt = VT_UI4, ulVal = NumberOfThreads
+      If "mt" is not defined, 7za.dll will check number of processors in system to set 
+      number of desirable threads. 
+      Now 7za.dll can use:
+        2 threads for LZMA compressing
+        N threads for BZip2 compressing
+        4 threads for BZip2 decompressing
+      Other codecs use only one thread. 
+      Note: 7za.dll can use additional "small" threads with low CPU load.
+  - It's possible to call ISetProperties::SetProperties to specify "mt" property for decoder.
+
+
+4.33 beta           2006-02-05
+------------------------------
+  - Compressing speed and Memory requirements were increased.
+    Default dictionary size was increased: Fastest: 64 KB, Fast: 1 MB, 
+    Normal: 4 MB, Max: 16 MB, Ultra: 64 MB.
+  - 7z/LZMA now can use only these match finders: HC4, BT2, BT3, BT4
+
+
+4.27                2005-09-21
+------------------------------
+ - Some GUIDs/interfaces were changed.
+   IStream.h:
+     ISequentialInStream::Read now works as old ReadPart
+     ISequentialOutStream::Write now works as old WritePart

+
+7-Zip is free software. Read License.txt for more information about license.
+
+Source code of binaries can be found at:
+  http://www.7-zip.org/
+
+This package contains the following files:
+
+7za.exe     - standalone console version of 7-Zip with reduced formats support.
+7za.dll     - library for working with 7z archives
+7zxa.dll    - library for extracting from 7z archives
+License.txt - license information
+readme.txt  - this file
+
+Far\        - plugin for Far Manager
+x64\        - binaries for x64
+
+
+All 32-bit binaries can work in:
+  Windows 2000 / 2003 / 2008 / XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10
+  and  in any Windows x64 version with WoW64 support.
+All x64 binaries can work in any Windows x64 version. 
+
+All binaries use msvcrt.dll.
+
+7za.exe 
+-------
+
+7za.exe - is a standalone console version of 7-Zip with reduced formats support.
+
+  Extra: 7za.exe             : support for only some formats of 7-Zip.
+  7-Zip: 7z.exe with 7z.dll  : support for all formats of 7-Zip.
+
+7za.exe and 7z.exe from 7-Zip have same command line interface.
+7za.exe doesn't use external DLL files.
+
+You can read Help File (7-zip.chm) from 7-Zip package for description 
+of all commands and switches for 7za.exe and 7z.exe.
+
+7za.exe features:
+
+  - High compression ratio in 7z format
+  - Supported formats:
+      - Packing / unpacking: 7z, xz, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR 
+      - Unpacking only: Z, lzma, CAB.
+  - Highest compression ratio for ZIP and GZIP formats.
+  - Fast compression and decompression
+  - Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats.
+
+Note: LZMA SDK contains 7zr.exe - more reduced version of 7za.exe.
+But you can use 7zr.exe as "public domain" code.
+
+
+
+DLL files
+---------
+
+7za.dll and 7zxa.dll are reduced versions of 7z.dll from 7-Zip.
+7za.dll and 7zxa.dll support only 7z format.
+Note: 7z.dll is main DLL file that works with all archive types in 7-Zip.
+
+7za.dll and 7zxa.dll support the following decoding methods:
+    - LZMA, LZMA2, PPMD, BCJ, BCJ2, COPY, 7zAES, BZip2, Deflate.
+
+7za.dll also supports 7z encoding with the following encoding methods:
+    - LZMA, LZMA2, PPMD, BCJ, BCJ2, COPY, 7zAES.
+
+7za.dll and 7zxa.dll work via COM interfaces.
+But these DLLs don't use standard COM interfaces for objects creating.
+
+Look also example code that calls DLL functions (in source code of 7-Zip):
+ 
+ 7zip\UI\Client7z
+
+Another example of binary that uses these interface is 7-Zip itself.
+The following binaries from 7-Zip use 7z.dll:
+  - 7z.exe (console version)
+  - 7zG.exe (GUI version)
+  - 7zFM.exe (7-Zip File Manager)
+
+Note: The source code of LZMA SDK also contains the code for similar DLLs
+(DLLs without BZip2, Deflate support). And these files from LZMA SDK can be 
+used as "public domain" code. If you use LZMA SDK files, you don't need to 
+follow GNU LGPL rules, if you want to change the code.

+
+License FAQ
+-----------
+
+Can I use the EXE or DLL files from 7-Zip in a commercial application?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Yes, but you are required to specify in documentation for your application:
+  (1) that you used parts of the 7-Zip program, 
+  (2) that 7-Zip is licensed under the GNU LGPL license and 
+  (3) you must give a link to www.7-zip.org, where the source code can be found.
+
+
+Can I use the source code of 7-Zip in a commercial application?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Since 7-Zip is licensed under the GNU LGPL you must follow the rules of that license. 
+In brief, it means that any LGPL'ed code must remain licensed under the LGPL. 
+For instance, you can change the code from 7-Zip or write a wrapper for some 
+code from 7-Zip and compile it into a DLL; but, the source code of that DLL 
+(including your modifications / additions / wrapper) must be licensed under 
+the LGPL or GPL. 
+Any other code in your application can be licensed as you wish. This scheme allows 
+users and developers to change LGPL'ed code and recompile that DLL. That is the 
+idea of free software. Read more here: http://www.gnu.org/. 
+
+
+
+Note: You can look also LZMA SDK, which is available under a more liberal license.
