Hey, UPX 3.00 stable has finally been released!    :-)

http://upx.sf.net

P.S. Make sure (!) you upgrade to using the latest version and not
keep using some old, moldy one like 1.24, especially since compression
is so much better with the latest versions (LZMA).   :-P

==================================================================
User visible changes for UPX (available online at http://upx.sourceforge.net/upx-news.txt
)
==================================================================

Changes in 3.00 (27 Apr 2007):
  * watcom/le & tmt/adam: fixed a problem when using certain filters

Changes in 2.93 beta (08 Mar 2007):
  * new formats Mach/i386 and Mach/fat support Mac OS X i686 and
    Universal binaries [i686 and PowerPC only]
  * dos/exe: LZMA is now also supported for 16-bit dos/exe. Please
note that
    you have to explicitly use '--lzma' even for '--ultra-brute' here
    because runtime decompression is about 30 times slower than NRV -
    which is really noticeable on old machines.
  * dos/exe: fixed a rarely occuring bug in relocation handling
  * win32/pe & arm/pe: better icon compression handling

Changes in 2.92 beta (23 Jan 2007):
  * new option '--ultra-brute' which tries even more variants
  * slightly improved compression ratio for some files when
    using '--brute' or '--ultra-brute'
  * bug fixes

Changes in 2.91 beta (29 Nov 2006):
  * assorted bug fixes
  * arm/pe: fix "missing" icon & version info resource problem for
wince 5
  * win32/pe & arm/pe: added option --compress-icons=3 to compress all
icons

Changes in 2.90 beta (08 Oct 2006):
  * LZMA algorithm support for most of the 32-bit and 64-bit file
formats;
    use new option '--lzma' to enable
  * new format: BSD/elf386 supporting FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD
    via auto-detection of PT_NOTE or EI_OSABI
  * arm/pe: all the NRV compression methods are now supported
    (only NRV2D is missing in thumb mode)
  * linux/elf386, linux/ElfAMD: remember /proc/self/exe in environment
  * major source code changes: the runtime decompression stubs are now
    built from internal ELF objects
