<p>I'm sorry but I hadn't so much time so the latest 7zip file is the latest version. </p><p>I've got these questions: Will it be a svn repo? How can I get write permissions?<br></p><p>I hope I'll have time to look at the Installer Gui. If I've found a good solution I'm going to write a new mail to the list with a patch attached.
