PeaZip 9.7.0 is ready for download, see the full change log!

WHAT IS PEAZIP

PeaZip is an Open Source, cross-platform (BSD, Linux, macOS, Windows) archive manager and file manager utility, written with Lazarus / FreePascal IDE, which works as a command line scripts generation engine for 7z/p7zip, Brotli, Zpaq, Zstd and other open source archiving and compression tools.

This allows either to use PeaZip as an interactive GUI application, or to save tasks as batch CLI scripts for later use - for fine tuning beyond GUI’s capabilities, learning the syntax, or re-use and automation purposes.

WHAT’S NEW IN THIS RELEASE

PeaZip 9.7.0 release is primarily meant to update app’s foundations:

  • Sources are now built with Lazarus 3.0, but it still possible to compile the app with Lazarus 2.x
  • Linux aarch64 portable package is now available
  • Windows dark mode is now fully supported, through metadarkstyle Lazarus package

Themes and scripting generation engine are improved, and the app now supports Brotli 1.1.0 and Zstd 1.5.5 backend.

Please note that for building PeaZip 9.7.0 it is now necessary to add “metadarkstyle” package to the IDE before compiling “peazip” and “pea” binaries, which can be scripted as:

lazbuild --add-package (peazip sources path)/dev/metadarkstyle/metadarkstyle.lpk
