Dinsdag is de finalrelease van versie 2.7 van PeaZip uitgebracht. Dit archiveringsprogramma, dat onder een opensource-licentie beschikbaar wordt gesteld, probeert zich van de concurrentie 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. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen zien:
BackendFile manager
- (Windows) updated to 7z 9.07
Extraction
- Fixed: issue in remembering last output path used for extraction
- Fixed: issue in dropping items to bookmarks (showing on Windows only)
- Fixed: incorrect size for files larger than 4GB (showing on Windows only) - to compile sources in Lazarus 0.9.26.2 the IDE needs to be patched: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=14472
- Fixed: PeaLauncher issue in exploring output path, if it is a folder (showing on Windows only)
- Fixed: restored behaviour of open/preview with "PeaZip (new instance)", to attempt to open any file type as an archive

- Back, fwd and up buttons now have a rightclick popupmenu to browse 8 more recent history entries
- Drag and drop to application:
- disabled dropping to non browseable archive (corrupted, or content is protected by unknow passord)
- disabled dropping to "Settings" panel
- when dropping a single supported non-archive type file into the file browser (i.e. an executable or an Office file),show add to archive instead of choiche dialog
- (Windows) potentially slow operation of querying for units was moved after GUI creation and launch of quick functions
- Various minor fixes and improvements
Archiving
- After extraction by drag and drop the output path is now reset to archive's path, and drop path is saved as last used, as for all other extraction operations
- For extractions performed during preview operation, the default output path is automatically moved out of the PeaZip's temporary folder
- Output path dialog now starts from archive's path by default
- Output path field is now writeable to allow manual editing or pasting paths from other file managers
- When browsing a single archive, extraction checks if password is needed, as happens for drag and drop extraction under the same condition
Windows installer
- Enabled Ctrl+V to add objects to archives (from PeaZip's clipboard)
- For ease of use, it is now disabled changing output when archiving in archive update mode
- LPAQ8 can now be selected as compression format from *PAQ entry
Other
- Context menu's extraction entries are now featured only for common archive types; by default PeaZip now creates 1 entry for files and folders and 4 for known archive types
- New entries in SendTo: browse path with Peazip and open command prompt here
- ZIP files are re-associated with Compressed Folder Windows' utility when PeaZip is uninstalled
- (Linux) updated .desktop files (KDE) and Nautilus scripts (Gnome) to send input to new extraction interface
- 95 file extensions supported
- Added missing text txt_2_7_oop and txt_2_7_experimental to language file (update of localizations created for beta is needed)
