TrueZIP 7.5.1 released

TrueZIP 7.5.1 has been released. This version improves the handling of TAR files, which now use the default character set instead of just US-ASCII. As usual you can select any other character set by overriding TarDriver.getCharset().

I’ve also improved the web site again - so please visit https://christian-schlichtherle.bitbucket.io/truezip.
