PeaZip 3.9 rilasciato

Agosto 1, 2011 Marco Giannini

Nuova versione di PeaZip, il programma di gestione archivi multipiattaforma di cui vi ho già parlato in passato su questo blog. Un ottimo programma che non dovrebbe mancare sulle vostre distro (ma anche sui vostri PC Windows).

Il programma supporta in lettura e scrittura nei formati 7Z, 7Z-sfx, ARC/WRC, BZ2/TBZ2, personalizzati, GZ/TGZ, PAQ/LPAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, split, TAR, UPX, ZIP.

Il sola lettura supporta ACE, ARJ, CAB, CHM, COMPOUND (MSI, DOC, XLS, PPT), CPIO, ISO, Java (JAR, EAR, WAR), Linux (DEB, PET/PUP, RPM, SLP), LHA/LZH, LZMA, Mac (DMG/HFS), NSIS, Open Office files, PAK/PK3/PK4, RAR, SMZIP, U3P, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR, XPI, XZ, Z/TZ, ZIPX.

Altri due punti a favore di questo programma sono l’esser open source ed esser realizzato da un italiano, Giorgio Tani (di cui potete leggere l’intervista che realizzai tempo fa per il blog).

PeaZip 3.9 apporta numerosi cambiamenti. Ecco le novità:
