7-Zip 9.09 Beta available

9.08 alpha. 9.09 Beta posted below.

What's new after 7-zip 9.07:

• 7-Zip now can unpack Apple Partition Map (APM) disk images.
• Speed optimizations in AES code for Intel's 32nm CPUs.
• Speed optimizations in CRC caclulation code for Intel's Atom CPUs.
• Some bugs were fixed.

Don't use this alpha version for important data. Call "Test" command after each compressing operation.




Also some code (including LZMA code) was compiled with new version of C compiler from VS 2010. So it can be slightly faster on some CPUs.
