Download PeaZip 5.5.1

Version 5.5.1 of PeaZip has been released. This archiving program is made available under an open source license and downloads are available for Windows and Linux. The program aims to distinguish itself from the competition by specializing in safety. Encrypting data is therefore one of the main functions of the proprietary system pea format. PeaZip can create 7z, bz2, gz, paq/lpaq, pea, quad, tar, upx and zip files, and extract various file formats including ace, arj, cab, deb, iso, lha , rar and rpm. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

File manager

• (Windows) Added support for scanning with Windows Defender
• Information column, when browsing files, shows a note about file types which can be handled through PeaZip
  • ‘+’ known archive file type, open with double click
  • ‘.’ known file type usually not handled as archive, open with context menu “Open as archive” (ie MS Office files)
• Improved links to online resources

Extraction and archiving

• While operating, Pause button is highlighted instead of Stop by default, to prevent unaware click canceling running tasks
• Fixed extraction to new folder from application’s drag and drop context menu

Windows installer

• New installation mode: “Update only” install new program’s files and keeps existing system integration unchanged (file association, context menu, send to menu)
• Installer shows link to Help and FAQ pages
• ISO files are not associated to PeaZip by default, to avoid overriding system’s defaults unless explicitly requested by user
• Configure system integration tool starts Custom installation mode by default, to prompt user all options

181 file extensions supported, added support for Microsoft’s .mlc Language Interface Pack and .mui Multilingual User Interface
