	Haven't seen this mentioned, but since it's been out for a couple of weeks now, i thought i would: `12 Dec 2011: UPX 3.08 has been released. It is a minor 3.0x maintenance release to version 3 whose major additions were: * optional LZMA compression * support for BSD systems` http://upx.sourceforge.net/ - Doug B.

Most excellent - I have been using UPX to compress binaries that I distribute for DOS and it has been flawless on every machine (virtual or otherwise) that I use. Make sure to never remove the 8086 DOS support!

I saw it, but I haven't tried compiling UPX-UCL yet.

http://upx.sourceforge.net/upx-news.txt

Changes in 3.08 (12 Dec 2011): * Fix allocation in runtime stub for darwin.macho-entry (i386 and amd64). * Compress shared library on ELF i386 only [ld.so threatens even this case]. * Attempt to support ELF on QNX 6.3.0 for armel (experimental). * Better diagnostic when ELF -fPIC is needed. * PT_NOTE improvements for *BSD. * Preserve more ELF .e_flags on ARM. * Minor code improvements for ELF stubs. * Defend against another flavor of corrupt PE header. * bug fixes

(In other words, not a lot of DOS action.)
