Some modules from "Extra" package were moved to LZMA SDK.
7-Zip 9.35 beta for 99.99% is same code as 9.34 alpha. Only some bugs were fixed.
My latest changes in code for 7-Zip are under development still, so they are not included to 7-Zip 9.35 beta.
So now I have two branches of code: 9.35 and "next_version" code. It's more difficult to support two branches. But at least now I can fix simple bugs faster and release fixed versions.

Now I understand why you were always reluctant to release; you work just with a single line...
I work with a "main" line but every release branches a maintenance/bug fixing line that promotes it changes back to the main line.
If you really want to keep working on a single line after every release you will never be able to make big changes because you are always anchored by the last release.
I humbly think what you just did is much better.
When you get a minute please consider if 9.35 could not be consider a full release.
Again thank you.

In Windows 8.1 x64, if you set 7zFM to run normally, it...
...still has the error "An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers" when trying to associate files to 7-zip, even under your own account, which is administrator. Same thing happens while setting context menu-related options.
...still won't allow you to drag-and-drop files. If you open two-pane mode, an error saying "Can't move file onto itself" occurs (if the ZIP is within the folder that has the file that you want compressed).
If you set 7zFM to Run-as Admin...
...you CAN drag-and-drop.
...you CAN change all program settings and file associations.
...you CAN NOT right-click -> Open archive.
For some reason, however, I can confirm most on Windows 7 Professional x64.

There are two different versions of code for decoding 7z archives in 7-Zip source code:
1) C code:
binaries that use that code:
7zdec.exe
7zS2.sfx
7zS2con.sfx
7zdec.exe - is example application that shows how to use C code. Also you can use it, if you need smallest 7z decoding application. Note also that it decodes whole solid block to RAM before writiong to files.
There are no switches in 7zdec.exe.
C code and 7zdec.exe support only some subset of 7z archives. For example, it doesn't support AES, bzip2, deflate.
2) C++ code for decoding.
binaries that use that code:
7z.dll
7za.exe
7zr.exe
7zSD.sfx
7z.sfx

Jpeg problem is long time problem.
Now I don't know any simple solution.
More deep investigations are required.

Thanks for releasing it as a beta instead of an alpha! I had been hoping you would go back to beta or even stable releases again. It's good to see this still getting updated versions coming out. I am also glad to see you released extras (7z935-extra.7z) and that it also has a command-line version, source code, and a DLL that other programs can use, those are all good things to include besides just the main 7-Zip File Manager and shell extension.
Keep up the good work, 7-Zip has been my favorite archiving utility for years now and I think this will continue for years in the future...

Thank you Igor for listening and releasing a beta solely fixing bugs. This is much appreciated. I haven't done any testing with 9.35 yet but will plan to do so. Thank you!!

7-Zip 9.35 beta was released.
You can download 7-Zip 9.35 beta from SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/9.35/
What's new after 7-Zip 9.34 alpha:
7-Zip crashed during ZIP archive creation, if the number of CPU threads was more than 64.
7-Zip could not correctly extract ISO archives that are larger than 4 GiB.
The option "Compress shared files" and -ssw switch didn't work.
7-Zip File Manager could crash for some archives open in "Flat View" mode.
Some modules from "Extra" package were moved to LZMA SDK.

Thank you for releasing the source code and new beta version. But the add to archive dialog still dose not fit in the screen resolution 800x600.
Thanks a lot!!! Merry christmas!
Thanks Igor !
Excellent news.
Thanks, Igor

Holy shit, I can't believe it. A new Beta! Thank you very much. :)
7zdec.exe
What is it?
4 commands are supported. And which switches are supported?

Eyy Igor Thx so much for your update ^_^
Thanks a lot, this's a great software for the world.
Thanks for releasing this beta!
Thanks for the new release!
There might be a memory flaw, at least it is reported by cppcheck:
FlvHandler.cpp
// constant
static const UInt32 kTagHeaderSize = 11;
// buffer declaration
Byte buf[kTagHeaderSize];
// Array 'buf[11]' accessed at index 11, which is out of bounds.
Byte firstByte = buf[kTagHeaderSize];
I'll fix it.
Thanks!

our Christmas present , thanks IGOR!
Hi Igor,
Do you think a final release will be available in the next 6 months?
Also do you envisage rar5 support in the next 6 months?
Many thanks

Are you a bit slow or something? Continual whining? I've raised a legit question and concern. You're the one whining over me...
