What's new in this version:

New Features:
- Create ISO images with various formats
- You can now use the parent folder name of the compressed files as a variable in a save preset’s filename pattern. If items from multiple source folders are packed together, the nearest common ancestor will be used (the same folder that would be used when selecting “next to original” as destination folder.)

Fixes and Enhancements:
- Open more variations of ISO images, e.g., UDF format
- Archive operations are now timed and the final operation time is added to the transcript window and shown in the system notifications
- Added a column for the compression method (STORE, DEFLATED, etc.)
- On older macOS versions the Quick Look generator would sometimes not work correctly
- tbz2 is now supported as a filename extension
- Fixed the size of the lock icon in the statusbar on macOS 12
- When extracting RAR archives with .r99, .s99, etc. pieces, these 99er parts were not moved correctly after successful extraction, if a move operation (trash or other folder) was specified in the preset
- Fixed error when extracting with a preset with a forced encoding
