Changelog:
2008 05 19 - PeaZip 2.1
In release 2.1 peazip becomes a general purpose
file and archive manager, allowing to manage items
both in the filesystem and in archives.
Keyfiles can be used for any supported format,
enhancing security against dictionary and some
social engineering attacks.
Keyfiles (of any size) are hashed with SHA256 and
the Base64-encoded (RFC 4648) hash is pre-pended
to the password; archives encrypted with use of
keyfiles by PeaZip can be opened by any other
archive manager following this convention or
simply calculating the hash and prepending it to
the password.
Other:
Removed winxpstyle.lpk dependency to allow
project's build with standard out-of-the-box
Lazarus install;
improved support for large archives.
