For those who use this EXE Packer, Version 3.00 has been released.

Here

Some of the new features (since the previous stable relaese V2.03) include

Quote

*LZMA is now also supported for 16-bit dos/exe. Use se new option '--lzma' to enable. Please note that you have to explicitly use '--lzma' even for '--ultra-brute' here because runtime decompression is about 30 times slower than NRV -
which is really noticeable on old machines.
* win32/pe & arm/pe: better icon compression handling
* new option '--ultra-brute' which tries even more variants
* slightly improved compression ratio for some files when using '--brute' or '--ultra-brute'

* new format: BSD/elf386 supporting FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD via auto-detection of PT_NOTE or EI_OSABI
* arm/pe: all the NRV compression methods are now supported (only NRV2D is missing in thumb mode)
* linux/elf386, linux/ElfAMD: remember /proc/self/exe in environment
* major source code changes: the runtime decompression stubs are now built from internal ELF objects


Sorry if its a repost, couldnt find it when i ran a search.

Does anyone know the command line switches for this program apart from the makers of the program? :blink:

How something so good can be so undocumented is just plain WRONG!

there is documentation included in the zip package you download. There is a TXT, DOC, and HTML file.

OUCH!

Now I feel really stupid! :blushing:

I have been using the command line program after pulling it out of
the downloaded package and never even thought once to check it. :blink:

Thanks, I've been using UPX for years and had almost given up on seeing another update.

LeveL, if you open a cmd window and just type upx (if it's in system32 folder) it lists the switches :)

upx -9 "path to exe"

that's all i use with it :)
