No
- 2.6 release is targeted to a majour UI update: toolbar buttons now have dropdown menu extending button's functionalities (one for all, from "extract to" button's dropdown is now possible to select extraction path), and "Options" toolbar button now toggles
- Navigation bar was made simpler with the introduction of a navigation menu which shows filesystem, user's bookmarks and recent files; a single point to show hierarchical, user-centered and usage pattern-centered views of system's resources
- In the bottom area of the application, status bar now hosts quick access buttons for most used functions (enter password, create keyfile...), and buttons to show bookmarks and history area
- 85 file extensions are now supported, and icon themes and all language files were updated
- PeaZip for Linux now comes precompiled both for GTK2 and for Qt widgetset; Qt packages are available on http://peazip.sourceforge.net/
Reviewing 2.1 (May 19, 2008)
I'm using the debian package. Works a charm. Love the passphrase protection available in the .pea format.
