Bug Description

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/p7zip/+question/261155

I always install 9.22 Beta on Window$ cuz I know it's perfectly stable and newest I know for sure it is. I commented a link to the above question with changes from 9.21 that are in the core (and in GUI). There aren't much in 9.22 Beta for command line versions of 7-Zip, but, without checking the code, it wouldn't hurt to go for 9.22 instead of 9.21: https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/fd88932d/

Edit: since this bug was intially filed, p7zip version 9.38.1 has been released. See changelog copied from duplicate bug 1490312:

15.06 beta has been available since 2015-08-09, it makes 9.22 beta look like a joke.
