DISCLAIMER
|

==========
|

|
||||
UPX comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see the file LICENSE.
|
||||
|
||||
Having said that, we think that UPX is quite stable now. Indeed we
|
||||
have compressed lots of files without any problems. Also, the
|
||||
current version has undergone several months of beta testing -
|
||||
actually it's almost 8 years since our first public beta.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the first production quality release, and we plan that future
|
||||
releases will be backward compatible with this version.

||||
|
||||
Please report all problems or suggestions to the authors. Thanks.

THE FUTURE
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
- AArch64 (64-bit ARM) for Linux and iOS.
|
||||
- Stay up-to-date with ongoing OS and executable format changes.
|
||||
|
||||
- The Linux approach could probably get ported to a lot of other Unix
|
||||
variants, at least for other i386 architectures it shouldn't be too
|
||||
much work. If someone sends me a fresh hard disk and an official
|
||||
FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD/Solaris/BeOS... CD I might take a look at it ;-)
|
||||
- RISC-V 64 for Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
- We will *NOT* add any sort of protection and/or encryption.
|
||||
This only gives people a false feeling of security because
|
||||
by definition all protectors/compressors can be broken.
|
||||
And don't trust any advertisement of authors of other executable
|
||||
compressors about this topic - just do a websearch on "unpackers"...
|
||||
all "protectors" can be broken by definition.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix all remaining bugs - keep your reports coming ;-)
|
||||

||||

|
||||
