Recent release history
| Version | Date | One-line change |
|---|---|---|
| 2.2.7 | October 4, 2026 | Files extracted from an archive that Windows marked as downloaded from the internet keep that download mark, and new password-protected ZIP files use AES-256 instead of ZipCrypto. Details |
| 2.2.6 | September 29, 2026 | One consistent icon set for actions and their states, and archive tests now keep warnings instead of reporting a clean result. Details |
| 2.2.5 | September 23, 2026 | Rebuilt with a cleaned-up build. Same contents as 2.2.4, with no added features. Details |
| 2.2.4 | September 22, 2026 | Archive-test failures appear in English in the English UI, the CLI accepts --password-stdin before or after the action name, and the final check before files are written uses fewer file handles. Details |
| 2.2.3 | September 21, 2026 | Browse folders inside an archive and extract the selected contents. Completion now waits for final cleanup and checks; compression presets, TAR.GZ / TGZ extraction and CP949 support were also improved. Details |
| 2.2.2 | September 18, 2026 | Compression settings now explain that ZIP encryption leaves filenames visible, and point to 7z when names also need to be hidden. Details |
| 2.2.1 | September 5, 2026 | Fixed Automation not starting when an archive arrives in a watched folder, and fixed failed quarantine of corrupted archives. These fixes improve handling of local Windows paths and UNC network-share paths. This is a bug-fix release. Release notes |
| 2.2.0 | September 3, 2026 | Added automated processing for archives that arrive in a watched folder (three templates: inspect-and-extract, batch health check, compress-with-verify), a pre-extraction check that shows encryption/item count/unpacked size, a searchable processing log, and a manual-only diagnostic export; extracting via right-click no longer blocks read-only actions or non-conflicting writes in the main window. Release notes |
| 2.0.0 | September 1, 2026 | Rebuilt right-click menu — Extract here, Extract to folder, and View contents appear directly in the classic menu, and the Store build lists its commands under Karuzip in the first Windows 11 menu; compress commands are hidden when only archives are selected; safer extraction into existing folders (no silent half-overwrites); reworked time-remaining display; karuzip-cli command-line tool bundled with the official installer. Release notes |
| 1.4.5 | August 11, 2026 | English UI across the app, context menu follows the app language, and clearer failure messages. Release notes |
| 1.4.4 | August 10, 2026 | More reliable right-click handoff and dependency security cleanup. Release notes |
| 1.4.3 | August 6, 2026 | Unified the in-app typeface to Zen Kaku Gothic New. Release notes |
| 1.4.2 | August 6, 2026 | Fixed the empty right-click submenu issue and cleaned up progress-bar behavior. Release notes |
| 1.4.1 | August 4, 2026 | Improved quick ZIP/7z compression and fixed empty files after wrong password errors. Release notes |
Prepare the environment for CLI use
Use the direct installer if your workflow needs karuzip-cli.exe. It installs beside Karuzip and is added to your Windows user PATH. Open a new PowerShell or Command Prompt after installation; existing terminals may still have the old PATH.
Run karuzip-cli --json actions to inspect the six available actions. It returns a JSON array, not an action Receipt. There is no --help or --version flag in this CLI; check the executable’s Windows version information or the installation details.
The public installer on this page is 2.2.10. The Microsoft Store edition does not include the CLI. Some CLI and agent guides on this site were checked against a 2.2.3 development build before 2.2.3 was released on September 21, 2026; those pages state the check date. Store availability and CLI availability are separate facts.
Command example
karuzip-cli --json actions
(Get-Command karuzip-cli.exe).FileVersionInfo | Select-Object ProductVersion, FileVersionReplace the sample paths with your own test inputs. Keep global options before the action. Check the exit code and final JSON; these snippets are command examples, not proof that your archive will succeed.
Start with the CLI reference, then follow the actual local-command workflow for Codex, Claude Code, or DeepSeek Harness.
Checked on September 12, 2026 against 2.2.3 before its release on September 21, 2026. Current public download: 2.2.10. Historical screenshots and measurements retain their original version. Editorial and testing policy.
