+\\
+===== ROMVault 3.7.6 =====
+''**Release Date:** 2026-05-31''
+**Feature Updates:**
+  * Updated zstdzip standards to store zero bytes files as stored zero bytes.
+  * Updated the core file copying code and SAM to write a zstd structured zip zero bytes file as stored.
+  * Updated the testing structured Zip file code to test of correct zero byte files, and correct end of compression bytes.
+  * Added Structured7Zip class and moved all of the 7zip structure code out of the main library into this class.
+  * Took all of the structured file testing out of SAM, as it is now cleanly handled in StructuredZip and Structured7Zip classes.
+  * Added new zip / 7zip testing logic to return if the signature is correct but something else in the testing is now failing (so a repair can be done.)
+  * Re-worked the check boxes in SAM-UI, so there is now a dry-run check box.
+  * Added the repair option in the output type dropdown in SAM.
+  * Removed all the compression type magic numbers and replaced them with a compression type enum.
+  * Reworked the DB update after a zipmove, greatly improving performance, especially for zero bytes files.
+  * Changed RomVault to launch SAM as a completely new application launch, so RomVault can be shutdown independently of SAM.
+**Bug Fixes:**
+  * Added the correct Flush() command to the end of writing zstd streams in SAM code.
+  * Fixed zipmove pre-testing so a zipmove could still be used if the dat did not include size info for it files.
+  * Fixed a case while scanning where files could potentially be double scanned.
