Download PeaZip 3.0 final

Last Wednesday’s beta of PeaZip version 3.0 was followed by a final on Saturday. This archiving program is available under an open source license and tries to differentiate itself from the competition by specializing in security. Encrypting data is therefore the spearhead of our own pea format. The program 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. Since the beta release, the following changes and improvements have been made:

File manager

• Added support to .cbr, .cbz, .cbt, .cba, .cb7, 123 file extensions supported

Extraction and archiving

• Default naming policy option for 7z backend is now “skip existing files” as for other backend executables
• Added “Ask before overwriting” mode in extraction options for 7z backend (all other options are still available: skip, auto rename extracted, auto rename existing, overwrite existing)
