support .dmg with DMGExtractor. - 738

* updating 7-zip from v4.57 to 4.60 you'll get XAR,UDF,DMG,LZMA,(WIM unpack improved) unpacking.

add OLE extraction support? (need download link for olex_d)- comment 195

* in 7-zip since v4.52

support .wim files - 447

7-zip update is has support of chm with lz-18 and above and XPS so its update is vey essential

Good catch, but Nitro seems to already know.
It's not as easy to just update the 7z files, new detection and extraction routines must be added and tested. But I'm sure Nitro will get around to it.

Keep on the lookout for improvements!

Really? Cool, I'll have to check this out. I didn't think 7-zip supported this.

This should work in the current release. Do you know what's improved about it in 7-Zip 4.60?

This is absolutely correct. However, in the case of incremental improvements to existing supported files, such as the WIM and CHM support that freeko mentioned above, simply upgrading 7-zip should work. Of course, I can't officially recommend it as I can't say that with certainty, but if you have a WIM or CHM file that's not working properly, it can't hurt to try updating the 7-Zip binaries. Just keep a backup of the originals in case something goes wrong (or just reinstall UniExtract).

WIM support was for LZX compression method only.. but with v4.60 the other remianing methods are supported (none,Xpress)

You may consider to use PEID 0.95 in the next release.
