Recent release history
| Version | Date | One-line change |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
