    7-Zip 9.20.08 alpha was released.

    7-Zip for 32-bit Windows:

    http://dl.7-zip.org/7z920.08.exe
    or
    http://dl.7-zip.org/7z920.08.msi

    7-Zip for 64-bit Windows x64:

    http://dl.7-zip.org/7z920.08-x64.msi

    What's new:

    - 7-Zip now can unpack UEFI BIOS files.
    - 64-bit version of 7-Zip now includes additional 32-bit shell extension DLL.
      So other 32-bit programs can call 64-bit 7-Zip via context menu.
    - Now it's possible to associate 7-Zip with file types without Administrator rights.
    - New -mf=FilterID switch to specify compression filter. Examples:
        7z a -mf=bcj2 a.7z a.tar
        7z a -mf=delta:4 a.7z a.wav
        7z a -mf=bcj a.tar.xz a.tar
    - There are some changes in LZMA settings for BCJ2 filter.
      So compression ratio now is slightly improved for executable files in -mx9 mode for .7z format.
    - Some bugs were fixed.
    - New localizations: Corsican, Kyrgyz, Ligurian.

    What's new in latest alpha update:
    - 7-Zip now remembers "Show Password" option selection.
    - The bug in latest alpha versions was fixed:  Default solid block size was small (command line version only).

    This has nothing to do with our problem.

    is the source for the beta versions available too, or perhaps I am just unaware of where to download it from?

    Hello everyone,

    currently there are no betas. The most recent "releases" are alphas -> hence no sources.

    Best regards!
