Woensdag is versie 3.0 bèta van PeaZip uitgebracht. Dit archiveringsprogramma wordt onder een opensource-licentie beschikbaar gesteld en 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.
