Changelog:
 2008 08 12
Release 2.2 sees the long awaited introduction of
UTF-8 support, to help handling filenames with
extended characters ans allow localization of the
user inteface text.

Now available translations are English and
Italian, hopefully more will come with the help of
the community: you can mail me localized language
file to be included in future updates, see
"Translations" chapter in documentation (or ask on
the forum) if you are willing to contribute your
translation.

User experience was also improved, adding
bookmarks, making the address bar editable,
improving PeaLauncher, introducing the new NuoveXT
theme and many other fixes and improvements.

Under the hood, crypto libraries in use were
updated, p7zip 4.48 is now supported on Linux, UPX
was updated to 3.03 and it was added support for
the highly efficient BALZ compression format, to a
total of 72 file extensions supported by PeaZip
2.2.
