-fb switch now supports values up to 273 138 - The bug in 7z_C (7zIn.c) was fixed: 139 It used Alloc/Free functions from different memory pools. 140 So if program used two memory pools, it worked incorrectly. 141 - 7z_C: .7z format supporting was improved 142 - LZMA# SDK (C#.NET version) was included 143 144 145 4.27 (Updated) 2005-09-21 146 ------------------------- 147 - Some GUIDs/interfaces in C++ were changed. 148 IStream.h: 149 ISequentialInStream::Read now works as old ReadPart 150 ISequentialOutStream::Write now works as old WritePart 151 152 153 4.27 2005-08-07 154 ------------------------- 155 -
