PeaZip 2.1, which I tested succesfully on 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron, was released yesterday.
Two the main updates:
1) The main program's interface is now a general purpose file manager capable of browsing and searching in the filesystem as well as in archives.
2) It is now possible to use keyfiles for two factor authentication with all supported archive formats, enhancing security against dictionary and some forms of social engineering attacks.
Keyfiles are hashed with SHA256 and the Base64-encoded (RFC 4648) hash is pre-pended to the password; this allows to not break compatibility with other applications supporting only passwords-based encryption since archives encrypted in that way can be opened simply calculating the hash and prepending it to the password.
