PeaZip 7.4.1 introduces GUI refresh and improves working with 7Z, ARC,
PEA, 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.
PEA now supports multiple cascade encryption, i.e. AES+Twofish+Serpent,
each 256 bit in EAX mode.
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.
A total of 210
file extensions can now be managed by PeaZip.
Translations are
available in over than 30 languages, any help is welcome to translate
PeaZip
to new languages and to maintain current localizations up to date, so
please consider taking the time to give a look to translations
directory
for newer language files and for any resource useful for translators.

(Windows) Added support for
Tino Reichardt (mcmilk) codecs for .7z format
7Z archives can now be
created using also Brotli, Fast-LZMA2, Lizard, LZ4, LZ5, and Zstandard
compression algorithms in addition to traditional ones
7Z archives created using those extra algorithms can be extracted by
PeaZip or Reichardt's 7-Zip fork, cannot be extracted by plain 7-Zip or

format with Brotli and Zstd compression respectively
ARC
Added options to add
recovery records and repair archive, from "Test" dropdown in tool bar
and in "More" group in context menu
RAR
(Windows) Improved creation
support using Rar.exe, if featured in the system, introduced as
prototype in previous release
Other than in WinRar's application path Rar.exe is now searched also in
PeaZip's directory, in case user wants to copy the exe here for
portability: it is sufficient to copy Rar.exe from WinRar's path to
PeaZip or PeaZip Portable application's path, or in said path into res\
folder, or in a subfolder named res\rar or res\unrar: any of those
locations is supported
Add to separate archives and Archive to original path options enabled
for RAR backend
New RAR-specific options supported
RAR archive header
encryption is now possible
RAR archives can be locked
Can now set recovery records percentage

write supported and can now be edited (add, delete, rename items in
existing archives)
It is now possible to optionally to switch to .zipx extension if a
method different than Deflate/Deflate64 is set for zip compression,
accordingly to WinZip's definition of zipx format
Please note that are currently supported, for reading and writing,
following compression methods defined in zipx standard: Bzip2, LZMA,
LZMA2, PPMd; currently WavPack, JPEG and MP3 preprocessors are
unsupported (both for reading and writing) unless proper codecs are
separately installed (cannot be added to PeaZip packages due closed
source nature of those codecs)
Repair archive function, for RAR and ARC files, is available in
PeaZip's file manager also before opening the archive, in case the
specific damage does not allow to successfully browse the archive

Fixed: can now delete files within WIM archives
EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
[Prototype] Support for RAR
compression if WinRar 64 or 32
bit is installed in the system (Windows)
Setting Custom compression
type optionally aut-configures PeaZip to use RarLab's Rar.exe as
compressor; if libre_directive option is set to 2 (most restrictive,
not allowing
closed archive formats), rar creation will be not allowed in any case
Rar.exe will be set to use PeaZip's work dir as other backend binaries
For RAR archives it is possible to set
compression level, from
store to maximum
action: new archive, add, update, freshen, sync with disk
spanning in multiple volumes
password, optionally with two factor authentication (password + keyfile)
create RAR5 or legacy RAR4 archive
(RAR5) set dictionary size 1..1024 MB
(RAR5) use BLAKE2 hash instead of CRC checksum
Create self extracting RAR
Solid archive
Recovery records
Save files open for writing
Save NT security information
Save NTFS streams
Set archive time to last modified object
Improved support for more
RAR options is planned in future, to allow efficient RAR creation from
PeaZip GUI, providing RarLab's WinRar is installed in the system and
Rar.exe is available.
please note PeaZip does not implement any
autonomus RAR creation feature, which is prohibited by RarLab's
licensing for RAR, and only passes parameters to Rar.exe if separately
installed by the user from RarLab's packages

7.2.1
BACKEND
PEA 0.70
(Linux) UPX 3.96
Please note: updating UPX
in
Windows packages triggered false
positives from multiple antimalware,
consequently the update was removed from Windows packages restoring UPX
3.95.
This is not, in any way,
a fault of UPX, which is and remains a legitimate and safe software,
but being one of the tools that may be employed by malware to compress
binary payload, it is regarded as higly suspicious by most anytivirus,
and in the past it triggered several false positives for PeaZip for
Windows, almost at each update, taking months to be corrected from
antivirus teams - and some of false positives are not yet fixed after
years, nor the feedback mails were ever answered.
For the future I'll consider about introducing UPX support as a
separate plugin, so it can be stripped from main package, and manually
updated by end user, to keep it up to date e.g. in the case security
issues surfaces on older UPX versions.
If you want to use last version of
UPX on PeaZip for Windows, please replace the executable manually,
until same syntax is honored the executable can be freely replaced.
CODE
