      1 HISTORY of the LZMA SDK
      2 -----------------------
      3 
      4 9.38 beta      2015-01-03
      5 -------------------------	
      6 - The BUG in 9.30-9.37 was fixed:
      7   IArchiveGetRawProps interface was disabled for 7z archives.
      8 - The BUG in 9.26-9.36 was fixed:
      9   Some code in CPP\7zip\Archive\7z\ worked correctly only under Windows.
     10 
     11 
     12 9.36 beta      2014-12-26
     13 -------------------------	
     14 - The BUG in command line version was fixed:
     15   7-Zip created temporary archive in current folder during update archive
     16   operation, if -w{Path} switch was not specified. 
     17   The fixed 7-Zip creates temporary archive in folder that contains updated archive.
     18 - The BUG in 9.33-9.35 was fixed:
     19   7-Zip silently ignored file reading errors during 7z or gz archive creation,
     20   and the created archive contained only part of file that was read before error.
     21   The fixed 7-Zip stops archive creation and it reports about error.
