This is great one. One of my absolute favorites.

Thanks @exterminator20.

Submitted to Comodo for white-listing.

Recommend Comodo users wait a week to install to avoid Unrecognized detection by CIS\CFW... or not if you know how CIS\CFW works. :D

PeaZip 6.0.1:

  • Release 6.0.1 comes with new themes and a major code cleanup, while IDE was updated to Lazarus 1.6 / FPC 3 in order to provide full Unicode compliance to the application.
  • PEA file format specifications were updated to 1.1 version, introducing support for SHA3 hash (256 and 512 bit), and Twofish and Serpent EAX mode (128 and 256 bit) authenticated encryption. SHA3 is now also available as hash function in file browser.
  • Extraction (and test) procedure accepts directories as input, with single archives being listed before operation starts so selection can be verified and fine-tuned if needed, and many other improvements were introduced to improve the ease of use of the software.
