Download PeaZip 7.7.1

Version 7.7.1 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 improvements have been made in this release:

backend

• Pea 0.76
• UPX was removed from Windows packages due the amount of false positives triggered in (low quality) security software; it is possible to add UPX support installing Additional Formats Plugin, or downloading and copying the most up to date UPX executable in resupx subfolder in PeaZip’s directory

Code

• Command line -ext2simple and -ext2simplefolder can now accept also empthy output path (extract to archive’s path)
  • -ext2simplefolder as -ext2folder (switch -*folder) apply smart folder policy, while -ext2simple and -ext2here ignores it
• Updated web search (Ctrl+Alt+F3)
• Updated Windows installers to work with recent versions of InnoSetup (.exe) and MSIWrapper (.msi)
• Various fixes
  • CPUAARCH64 now disable Intel ASM to allow build on ARM64 architectures
  • fixed adding multiple .enc suffix
  • fixed various issues with non-English localizations
  • fixed issue with preview for special file types (bat, exe, html) resulting in extraction instead of preview
  • improved handling special characters in password for arc, rar, and pea formats
  • (Linux) improved handling of special characters in filenames
  • (Linux) fixed issues with smart folder option

Extraction and archiving

• PEA compression and decompression can now be canceled from the GUI
