The end-user experience is about the same as before. But the new code 
supports a virtual file system (vfs) and is therefore better able to 
scan archives etc. Currently the engine still only supports string patterns.

What is new is the support for Gzip, Bzip2 and tar archives. Also the 
UPX decompressor now uses the upx command line tool if decompression fails.

Stay tuned.
