Symbolic links are extracted properly from zip archives to the local file system.
Local symbolic links are packed properly into zip and tar archives.
Unpacking of 7z archives is now faster and more reliable using a newer native library.
The filename cell is rendered differently when renaming a file to reflect that the filename is editable when no text is selected.
Keyboard shortcuts on macOS better align with the default keyboard shortcuts in Safari.
The 'About' dialog indicates when the portable version is used.
Commands that are executed from the 'Run command' dialog are now typed within a terminal that recognizes shell aliases.

Need to enable NTLM authentication manually in order to authenticate to Samba >= 4.5. This is done by adding 'ntlm auth = yes' to smb.conf.
