Details of what's new
----------------------------------------------------------------------

* Splitting and spanning

Xceed Zip for .NET v2.0 adds support for reading, writing and even
updating zip files that are split into multiple parts (with different
filenames, like .Z01, .Z02, etc.) or that span multiple disks (with
the same filename on each disk). In addition, split zip files can be
located in the same folder or in altogether separate locations.

* Full self-extracting support

Xceed Zip for .NET can now create sharp, fully customized
self-extracting zip files. In fact, it supports all the features
offered by our extremely feature-rich Xceed Self-Extractor Module,
but without the added cost of an extra module to purchase

With this, you can dynamically create self-extracting zip files with
install-program-strength capabilities like displaying an intro
message, license agreement, progress dialog, ask for passwords, run
another application, create program groups, open documents, etc.

* Deflate64

The Deflate64(TM) algorithm is now supported.

* Updated filesystem object model

With its new memory and .NET isolated storage file and folder
objects, all zip, unzip, copy, move, rename and other operations can
now be performed to and from memory and .NET isolated storage, not
only to disk and zip files and folders.

This also means that you can not only zip from memory, but you can
also create a zip file entirely in memory then access, modify or
copy it or its contents as if it was a real file. Also, in addition
to being able to unzip from a file to memory, you unzip from a zip
file that is in memory or in a stream.
