7-Zip adds UEFI support

Interesting, I just noticed that 7-Zip can read UEFI containers. Excerpt from today’s announcement on BetaNews:

After five years of stop-start development, 7-Zip has just released a new stable version 15.2. It’s been a long wait, but if you’re still using the latest stable build — 9.20 — then there are plenty of reasons to upgrade. There’s support for unpacking many more containers: UEFI BIOS files, WIM files, RAR5 archives, ext2/ ext3/ ext4 images, GPT, VMDK, and single file QCOW2 and VDI images. […]

(I think this support has been in 7-Zip since 2011, but I am just noticing it, and they are announcing it like it is new…)
