Vandaag is versie 2.2 van Peazip uitgekomen. Peazip is een onder een opensourcelicentie beschikbaar gesteld archiveringsprogramma, dat zich van de concurrentie probeert te onderscheiden door zich te specialiseren in veiligheid. Het versleutelen van data is dan ook het speerpunt van het eigen pea-formaat. Het programma kan 7z-, bz2-, gz-, paq/lpaq-, pea-, quad-, tar-, upx- en zip-bestanden creëren en diverse bestandsformaten uitpakken, waaronder ace, arj, cab, deb, iso, lha, rar en rpm. De belangrijkste verandering in deze release is de ondersteuning voor utf-8, wat onder andere een meertalige gebruikersinterface en het weergeven van unicodekarakters mogelijk maakt. Het volledige changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
