2020-08-23 23:39 (by giorgio_tani)

PeaZip 7.4.0 is ready for download from https://peazip.github.io

The new release introduces GUI refresh and improves working with 7Z, ARC, RAR, and ZIPX archive types. It is now possible to use new fast compression algorithms in 7Z format: Brotli, Fast-LZMA2, Lizard, LZ4, LZ5, and Zstandard are now available, providing faster-than-Deflate compression with better speed-to-compression-ratio efficiency. RAR archives are now fully read-write supported from PeaZip if Rar.exe is featured in the system: it is possible to update, edit, rename, and delete files in existing RAR archives, and more RAR-specific options are supported (set comment, lock archive, header encryption, set recovery records percentage). ZIPX archives can now be edited, and it is possible to optionally use .zipx extension when creating non-Deflate compressed .zip archives. It is now possible to repair ARC and RAR files, and even to attempt recovery if the archive cannot be opened for browsing.

210 file extensions are currently supported, adding .zstd extension used in new RPM packages.

A full list of fixes and improvements is available on change log page https://peazip.github.io/changelog.html
