Changelog

    The default number of LZMA2 chunks per solid block in 7z archive was increased to 64.
    It allows to increase the compression speed for big 7z archives, if there is a big number of CPU cores and threads.
    The speed of PPMd compressing/decompressing was increased for 7z/ZIP/RAR archives.
    The new -ssp switch. If the switch -ssp is specified, 7-Zip doesn't allow the system
    To modify "Last Access Time" property of source files for archiving and hashing operations.

EXTRACTION and ARCHIVING
7Z
(Windows) Added support for Tino Reichardt (mcmilk) codecs for .7z format
7Z archives can now be created using also Brotli, Fast-LZMA2, Lizard, LZ4, LZ5, and Zstandard compression algorithms in addition to traditional ones
7Z archives created using those extra algorithms can be extracted by PeaZip or Reichardt's 7-Zip fork, cannot be extracted by plain 7-Zip or p7zip without using Reichardt's codecs
Compression presets 11 and 12 changed from tar.br and tar.zst to 7z format with Brotli and Zstd compression respectively
ARC
Added options to add recovery records and repair archive, from "Test" dropdown in tool bar and in "More" group in context menu
RAR
(Windows) Improved creation support using Rar.exe, if featured in the system, introduced as prototype in previous release
Other than in WinRar's application path Rar.exe is now searched also in PeaZip's directory, in case user wants to copy the exe here for portability: it is sufficient to copy Rar.exe from WinRar's path to PeaZip or PeaZip Portable application's path, or in said path into res\ folder, or in a subfolder named res\rar or res\unrar: any of those locations is supported
Add to separate archives and Archive to original path options enabled for RAR backend
New RAR-specific options supported
RAR archive header encryption is now possible
RAR archives can be locked
Can now set recovery records percentage
Can now set archive time to: current system time, original archive time, most recent item in archive
It is now possible to save RAR compression settings in custom compression settings profiles
RAR compression preset is now available, it is shown only if Rar.exe is detected
It is now possible to update, edit, rename, and delete files in existing RAR archives
Application title will now display if archive is RAR4 or RAR5, and if it is locked
Added options to lock archive, add comment, add recovery records, repair archive, from "Test" button dropdown in tool bar and in "More" group in context menu
ZIPX
.zipx archives are now write supported and can now be edited (add, delete, rename items in existing archives)
It is now possible to optionally to switch to .zipx extension if a method different than Deflate/Deflate64 is set for zip compression, accordingly to WinZip's definition of zipx format
Please note that are currently supported, for reading and writing, following compression methods defined in zipx standard: Bzip2, LZMA, LZMA2, PPMd; currently WavPack, JPEG and MP3 preprocessors are unsupported (both for reading and writing) unless proper codecs are separately installed (cannot be added to PeaZip packages due closed source nature of those codecs)
Repair archive function, for RAR and ARC files, is available in PeaZip's file manager also before opening the archive, in case the specific damage does not allow to successfully browse the archive

Bandizip is an archive tool that supports a customizable interface, the searching of archives by file name, file splitting, password protection, self-extracting archives, and varying levels of compression. It supports the creation and extraction of most common compression formats, as well as modern formats ZIPX and 7Z.

The program's "High Speed Archiving" function will allow you to compress or bypass the files its own algorithm on multimedia files (AVI, WMV, MP3...) or archive files (ZIP, RAR, 7Z...) that won't benefit from additional compression. This can increase archiving speed dramatically. Extract formats supported include 7Z, ZIPX, RAR, ALZ, EGG, TAR, BH, LZH, BZ2, ISO, CAB, WIM, XZ, ARJ, ZIP, Z and more.

Supports both 32 and 64-bit, as well as 29 world languages.
