Thank you Willy2 for posting this.

I must say it had me thinking I've already got the newest version, however it got me to look anyway and I found out there was a newer version of 7-Zip's standalone console on the official download page which I use in batch files for automatted backups of Firefox and SRWare Iron, there hadn't been a new version of 7-Zip standalone console for a very long time.
