&bull, Repair: ARC
PeaZip can extract most of archive formats both from Windows and Unix worlds, ranging from mainstream 7Z, RAR, TAR and ZIP to experimental ones like PAQ/LPAQ family, currently the most powerful compressor available. For archive creation, PeaZip suppors a wide range of compression and encryption standard, from fastes to most powerful ones, and allows to export job definition as scripts to bridge the gap between GUI and console applications, and let the user pick the best of the two worlds.
PeaZip has secure deletion feature, can verify file checksum and hash, and supports multiple strong encryption standards, optionally using two factor authentication (password and keyfile) for increased security:
&bull, 7Z's AES256 encryption: ZIP WinZip's AE encryption based on AES256 (and ZipCrypto for legacy compatibility), can decrypt PKZip's AES encryption
&bull, FreeARC's ARC: AES256, Blowfish, Twofish256 and Serpent256 - this format is also capable to generate recovery records to protect data against corruption
&bull, PEA: AES256 EAX authenticated encryption

 , , , * Various minor fixes and improvements
# EXTRACTION
 , , , * 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
# ARCHIVING
