enables two-step extraction for all archive types supported
through 7z/p7zip: content is extracted to a fresh folder and
then moved to actual output destination with standard
system's calls.
- When interactive extraction is used, all unneeded levels of
directory nesting are removed, and conflicts with existing

conventional use in WinRar and Windows file explorer
- Improved control over temporary work directory, used when the
archive is created or edited, during drag and drop extraction
(Windows), and content preview
- Output: faster as no copy to destination is needed, more
secure as no content is unpacked/decrypted outside of the
intended destination path
- Output, preview in user's temp
- User's temp (as conventionally used by most applications):
in case of failure for any reason, user's temp folder is
the single place to look for orphaned data and can be
safely cleaned
- None, user's temp if needed: allows exceptions to perform
drag and drop extraction and preview using user's temp
- None: no exceptions allowed, no temporary work data is saved,
this does not allow to perform neither drag and drop
extraction nor preview, as archive content can't be
transparently unpacked and passed to system's drag & drop
handler, nor to the associated application

+ 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

being larger of the maximum executable size allowed for the
target OS.
- To extract a split sfx archive, place extraction executable
and all volumes in the same directory.

procedure without need of external software.

with an external archiver to browse/extract the entire
archive.

- update to version 5.6.1
* Added read only support (list, test, extract) to RAR5 format
through RarLab's unrar.
Currently the plugin is available only for Windows or Wine/ReactOS,
Linux version will be analyzed and tested for future updates.
* Due the non-OSI compatible unrar restriction (even if the software
provides sources and is royalty-free) the software is available as
separate plugin on Add-Ons page.
* Due the different syntax between RarLab's unrar and 7z/p7zip's unrar,
following differences apply when handling RAR5 format:
- Recursivity with advanced filters is always enabled.
- Renaming options always rename the file being extracted.
* Added LIBRE_DIRECTIVE option to disallow any call to software
which is non-free under OSI definition:
- If set to 0 (permissive) PeaZip will use all available backend,
both free-as-in-freedom and royalty-free.
- If set to 1 (flexible) PeaZip will disallow any call to
royalty-free but non free-as-in-freedom backend,
currently: unace and unrar binaries.
- If set to 2 (strict) PeaZip will disallow calls even in case
of dubious status, currently apply to unrar functions in
7z/p7zip due to non-reversibility clause.
