Note: AutoIt 3.2.12.0 introduced some changes that are incompatible with UniExtract 1.6. If you'd like to compile your own version, please stick with AutoIt 3.2.10.x. See this series of posts for details, and thanks to mushu13 for pointing this out.

Changes:
CODE
Added support for individual user preferences for better Vista support;
      by default, this is enabled for standalone, disabled for installed
      when enabled, UniExtract uses single .ini file as with previous version
      when disabled, individual prefs/history are saved to registry in HKCU
      this can be changed by modifying globalprefs setting in .ini file
Added menu bar to main GUI;
      includes options to quit, edit preferences, and visit UniExtract website
Added separate preferences GUI to provide easy access to all options;
      can be invoked through Edit menu or through '/prefs' argument
Added support for DiscJuggler CDI CD-ROM images via cdirip.exe
Added support for FEAD Optimizer packages (eg, Adobe Reader installers)
Added support for LZMA compressed files via lzma
Added support for LZX compressed files via unlzx
Added support for Nero NRG CD-ROM images (data only) via nrg2iso
Added support for Reflexive Arcade installer wrapper via RAIU
Added support for RoboForm installers
Added support for WIM (Windows Imaging Format) images via 7-Zip
Added "Not an InstallShield installer" option to InstallShield method select
      dialog to force UniExtract to handle TrID InstallShield false positives
Added components section to installer; makes installation of
      docs, languages, and certain (large) binaries optional
Added SendTo icon option to installer
Added internationalization support for decompressed ASPack and UPX files
Added Croatian, Dutch, Hungarian, Portuguese, Romanian, Taiwanese, Turkish,
      and Valencian (Catalan) translations
Added return codes to indicated status of extraction (actually added in 1.5):
      0 = successful exit or user-initiated cancel
      1 = supposedly supported file, but extraction failed
      2 = debug file is not writable, aborted
      3 = unknown executable - cannot be extracted
      4 = unknown filetype - cannot be extracted
      5 = invalid output directory specified
Fixed bug that displayed debugging message box during Inno Setup extraction
Fixed bug in InstallShield CAB file support; now properly extracts files
      with spaces in the filename
Fixed support for (non-tar) gzip files
Fixed support for Microsoft hotfixes (again)
Fixed support for relative paths
Fixed support for UNC paths
Fixed missing Spanish language option during installation
Removed support for Windows 9x due to new Unicode version of AutoIt;
        9x was never officially supported, but it will not even execute now
Removed Adobe-specific report (now handled by generic FEAD support)
Updated UniExtract to prompt user before executing files for extraction;
        can be disabled via warnexecute option
Updated UniExtract to make ACE, KGB, Pea, and StuffIt support optional
Updated UniExtract to read English.ini from root install directory
Updated UniExtract to output debug files to %temp% by default
Updated UniExtract to verify that debug file location can be written to;
        user's temp directory will be used if selected dir fails test
Updated UniExtract to disable appendext option by default
Updated UniExtract changelog to add notice of Vietnamese translation in 1.5

        non-admin users should use binary archive (portable) version,
        or use a copy installed by the system administrator
Updated installer to require Windows NT-based systems; 9x will not work
Updated installer to prevent association with CHM files under Vista

Updated installer to support reversed appendext default preference;
        now use /appendext to enable instead of /noappendext to disable
