Software Update: PeaZip 2.7.1

Tuesday the version 2.7.1 of PeaZip was released. This open source archiving program tries to differentiate itself from the competition by specializing in security. Encrypting data is therefore the spearhead of our own pea format. The program can create 7z, bz2, gz, paq/lpaq, pea, quad, tar, upx and zip files and extract various file formats including ace, arj, cab, deb, iso, lha , rar and rpm.
