Notes for users

You can simply unpack PeaZip portable in the path you prefer and use it, even on the network or on removable devices as USB sticks; it will not modify the host system.
On Windows systems the setup of PeaZip installable needs to run with administrative privileges, otherwise the program will install correctly for all but the filetype associations which could not be set.
On Linux systems, if missing libraries are reported installing PeaZip or the first time you run peazip binary (you can launch it from a console for detailed feedback), please follow your package manager instruction to install them. Usually missing libraries are standard and widely available gtk/gtk related components (like libgdk_pixbuf).
While PeaZip's 64 bit packages are meant for 64 bit systems only, PeaZip's 32 bit packages can be used on 64 bit Windows or Linux systems (for Linux, omit architecture check for 32 bit installable packages or use _portable packages); 32 bit backend binaries can be freely replaced with 64 bit counterparts (if available) for performance optimization.
See documentation (and FreeDesktop_integration folder in Linux packages) for hints about integration of PeaZip in the desktop environment (Gnome, KDE, Windows): file associations, start menu, service/context menus, SendTo...
PeaZip UNACE plugin plugin is excluded from the base package and is not hosted on SourceForge because it is (royalty free) closed source software. Binaries in "standalone" UNACE plugin packages should go in peazip/res/unace/ path.

Release notes

In release 2.1 peazip becomes a general purpose file and archive manager, allowing to manage items both in the filesystem and in archives.
The file manager allow robust file move/copy operations, quick or secure deletion, file hashing or comparison and many other handy functions.
For Windows platforms, it is now possible to drag and drop items from application to the system through a custom function which doesn't need to copy files to system's temporary folder on drag&drop operation, allowing faster execution and avoiding to leave tracks on unwanted paths.
Encryption's keying can now optionally benefit of the use of keyfiles for any supported format, enhancing security against dictionary and some social engineering attacks.
Keyfiles (of any size) are hashed with SHA256 and the Base64-encoded (RFC 4648) hash is pre-pended to the password; archives encrypted with use of keyfiles by PeaZip can be opened by any other archive manager following this convention or simply calculating the hash and prepending it to the password.

Change log

• 2008 05 21
• PeaZip 2.1
• Added Windows 64 packages:
• peazip-2.1.bin.WIN64.exe
• peazip_portable-2.1.bin.WIN64.zip
  
• 2008 05 19
• PeaZip 2.1
• Added support for LZMA archives; currently supported formats: 71 extensions grouped in 43 families;
• Improved support for large archives: if browsing takes too much time/memory (customisable amount), it stops allowing the user to narrow the selection using in-archive search and filter functions;
• Removed winxpstyle.lpk dependency to allow project's build with standard out-of-the-box Lazarus install
• Updated W.E. library with util_2008-03-30 package
• Updated 7z backend to 4.58
• (Windows) "Run as different user" (Tools) to start the application with alternate credentials and environment
• (Windows) "System tools" submenu (Tools): access to system's defrag, disk cleanup, disk management, control panel, computer management and task manager
• (Windows) Extraction by drag and drop from application to system (requires Address bar to be let enabled in file explorer); this custom drag and drop function doesn't need to copy files to temp folder on drag to system operations
• Archive browser interface transformed in general purpose file manager (navigate in archive and in filesystem) interface
• File tools menu featured in file browser interface
• Robust file/folder copy through system's robocopy (Vista and 2008 Server, xcopy on previous systems back to Windows 2000)
• Startup interface can be chosen in Settings (file/archive browser, archive creation main control panel)
• Archive browser autoswitches to flat view mode (7z supported types) if needed.
• Allows use of keyfiles for all formats supporting encryption: prepend to password the SHA256 hash of the keyfile (no size limit) encoded in Base64 (RFC 4648)
• note: archives encrypted with keyfile can be extracted, providing the keyfile, by PeaZip or any application using the same convention, or simply entering the hash as part of the password

WinRAR 3.80 Beta 1

WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.

Features of WinRAR:
- Using WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression by consistently making smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs.
- WinRAR provides complete support for RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives.
- WinRAR offers a graphic interactive interface utilizing mouse and menus as well as the command line interface.
- WinRAR is easier to use than many other archivers with the inclusion of a special "Wizard" mode which allows instant access to the basic archiving functions through a simple question and answer procedure. This avoids confusion in the early stages of use.
- WinRAR offers you the benefit of industry strength archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a key of 128 bits.
- WinRAR supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. The number of archived files is, for all practical purposes, unlimited.
- WinRAR offers the ability to create selfextracting and multivolume archives.
Recovery record and recovery volumes allow to reconstruct even physically damaged archives.
- WinRAR features are constantly being developed to keep WinRAR ahead of the pack.

Changes in Version 3.80 beta 1:
1. Added support for ZIP archives containing Unicode file names in UTF-8 format. When creating ZIP archive, WinRAR stores names in Unicode only if they cannot be stored correctly using the current single byte character set.
2. Added decompression support for WinZip AES encrypted ZIP archives.
3. Improved Unicode support for RAR and ZIP archive names.
4. "Ask before overwrite" and "Skip existing files" update modes are now available in archiving dialog. They allow to specify WinRAR behavior when updating already existing files in archive. Unlike already available "Fresh existing files only" and "Add and update files", these new modes ignore file date and compare only file names.

Command line equivalents of these modes are:
a) switch -o enables "Ask before overwrite" archiving mode;
b) switch -o- enables "Skip existing files" archiving mode;
c) switch -o+ enables "Overwrite all" mode (default for archiving).

5. New "Add to context menu" option in "Profile parameters" dialog. If this option is on, the profile name will be displayed in Explorer context menus allowing to activate a profile from context menu.
6. New -cp switch allows to select a compression profile in command line mode. It is supported only by GUI WinRAR.exe, not by rar.exe.
7. New "Options" page of archiving dialog contains the group of settings modifying the behavior of "Delete files after archiving" option from "General" page:
a) Delete files. Delete files normally like in previous WinRAR versions.
b) Move files to Recycle Bin. Deleted files are placed to Recycle Bin. Command line equivalent of this option is -dr switch.
c) Wipe files. Before deleting file data are overwritten by zero bytes to prevent recovery of deleted files. Command line equivalent of this option is -dw switch.
All these options have an effect only if "Delete files after archiving" is on. You can enable any of these options in the default compression profile to change the default behavior of "Delete files after archiving".
8. WinRAR "Extraction path and options" dialog is now resizable. You can use the mouse to drag its border to the desired size and provide more space for folder tree pane. WinRAR will store new dimensions of this dialog.
9. New "Update" SFX script command and "Update mode" group of options in "Update" page of "Advanced SFX options" dialog. These command and options allow to check time and implement file time based updating;
10. SFX script "Shortcut" command and "Add shortcut..." command in "Advanced SFX options" dialog now allow to specify an icon file containing an icon associated with shortcut.
11. New "Wipe temporary files" option in "Settings/Security" dialog provides more secure, though slower, way to delete temporary WinRAR files.
12. WinRAR and RAR display the total progress bar when unpacking a multivolume RAR archive if all volumes are present in the same folder.
13. WinRAR and RAR automatically expand names of environment variables in list files. For example, a list file can contain lines like: %windir%\*.exe, %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
This feature is available only in Windows RAR version.
14. Added support of TAR archives with non-zero "extra field" data.
15. Added support of TAR archives, which does not contain the end of archive entry consisting of 512 zero bytes.
16. Improved Unicode support when dragging files from WinRAR window.
17. Shift+Tab key combination can be used in main WinRAR window to switch the input focus between interface elements (files, comment, tree, address) in reverse order. In previous versions Shift+Tab used the same order as Tab.
18. Corrected a possible WinRAR crash when opening truncated UDF ISO files.
