List of important changes/additions in version 2.5 beta 5

- it is now possible to select different icons for Sfx-Modules (with up to 256 colors)

  previous betas.
- Added extraction support for .iso image files
- AV settings can not be preset in the general options
- Added support for additional external virus scanners
- Added variables for archive names. These variables can be used by simply using them within
  the archive name. When the archive is created, the actual values will be placed instead.

  The following variables are available (especially useful for backups):
  %DATE% :    The current date in the machine's current country setting.
              Characters that are not allowed in filenames (e.g. ":" or "/","\") underscores
              ("_") will be used.
  %TODAY%:    same as %DATE%
  %DATETIME%: same as %DATE%, but a timestamp (hh_mm) will be added as well.
  %FOLDER%:   The last segment of the directory path will be inserted,
              for instance "My Pictures" if the path is "C:\My Files\My Pictures".

  The variables can also be combined, e.g. %FOLDER%_%TODAY%.ACE and are also available
  from the command line.
- Additional default name templates added to the "Create Archive" dialog.
  The dropdown list includes various combinations of the file- or directory name and a date stamp
