7-zip 22.00 – APFS, Posix TAR, high precision timestamps
Looking back at this version history [1], there was perviously a gap of 3.5 years between releases (2011-2014). Skimming through the discussion forums, the 2.5yr gap between 19.00 and 21.07 was filled with a number of alpha and beta releases, eg 20.02 [2]. Version numbering seems to follow a consistent yy.## format since 2015.

How safe is 7Zip encryption?
AES is only as good as the KDF protecting the key. Looking at the github mirror of its code (updated march 2019), it seems to be using PBKDF2-SHA1 with 1,000 iterations. That's actually really bad because SHA1 is weak, and 1,000 iterations is very low.
