BACKEND
=(Windows) updated to 7z 9.07

FILE MANAGER
=Fixed: issue in remembering last output path used for extraction
=Fixed: issue in dropping items to bookmarks (showing on Windows only)
=Fixed: incorrect size for files larger than 4GB (showing on Windows only) - to compile sources in Lazarus 0.9.26.2 the IDE needs to be patched: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=14472
=Fixed: PeaLauncher issue in exploring output path, if it is a folder (showing on Windows only)
=Fixed: restored behaviour of open/preview with "PeaZip (new instance)", to attempt to open any file type as an archive
=Added copy to, move to, quick and secure deletion, explore and open command prompt here into file manager's toolbar dropdown menu
=Back, fwd and up buttons now have a rightclick popupmenu to browse 8 more recent history entries
=Drag and drop to application:
-disabled dropping to non browseable archive (corrupted, or content is protected by unknow passord)
-disabled dropping to "Settings" panel
-when dropping a single supported non-archive type file into the file browser (i.e. an executable or an Office file),show add to archive instead of choiche dialog
=(Windows) potentially slow operation of querying for units was moved after GUI creation and launch of quick functions
=Various minor fixes and improvements

EXTRACTION
=After extraction by drag and drop the output path is now reset to archive's path, and drop path is saved as last used, as for all other extraction operations
=For extractions performed during preview operation, the default output path is automatically moved out of the PeaZip's temporary folder
=Output path dialog now starts from archive's path by default
=Output path field is now writeable to allow manual editing or pasting paths from other file managers
=When browsing a single archive, extraction checks if password is needed, as happens for drag and drop extraction under the same condition

ARCHIVING
=Enabled Ctrl+V to add objects to archives (from PeaZip's clipboard)
=For ease of use, it is now disabled changing output when archiving in archive update mode
=LPAQ8 can now be selected as compression format from *PAQ entry

WINDOWS INSTALLER
=Context menu's extraction entries are now featured only for common archive types; by default PeaZip now creates 1 entry for files and folders and =4 for known archive types
=New entries in SendTo: browse path with Peazip and open command prompt here
=ZIP files are re-associated with Compressed Folder Windows' utility when PeaZip is uninstalled

(Linux) updated .desktop files (KDE) and Nautilus scripts (Gnome) to send input to new extraction interface
95 file extensions supported
Added missing text txt_2_7_oop and txt_2_7_experimental to language file (update of localizations created for beta is needed)

it's a combo-app

i still prefer using 7-zip (extreme compression), and Winrar/WinZip (compatibility).

7-zip LZMA algo only uses 2 cores.

to use more cores, use the newer LZMA2 algo.

Added on September 17, 2009, 7:57 pmbtw, if compress small files, no point using LZMA2. there's not much difference. [LZMA2 4-cores ~ LZMA 2-cores]

unless u're compressing few hundreds MB -> GBs, then u can benefit from LZMA2. [LZMA2 4-cores < LZMA 2-cores]
