Change Log

# Updated Wolfgang Ehrhardt's libraries
# Updated to 7z 4.64 and p7zip 4.61 (Linux)

* can now extract PKWARE-AES
* can now create LZMA compressed .zip archives

# Text encoding

* Job's definition can now be saved as utf-8 text or plain text
* Extended characters in archived object's names can now be displayed (on Windows this is limited to characters included in system's console codepage; single character encodings are supported at the moment)
* optionally (Tools > Settings > General (2) > Encoding) extended characters can be replaced by jolly "?" character to avoid possible issues between archive's and system's character encodings

# File/archive browser:

* now selects last visited path/archive (like WinRAR/7-Zip)
* improved archive browser speed
* recognizes .r01 and .z01 extensions as multipart archives

# Reorganized browser and layout context menus

* "Open"/"Extract and open"/"Preview" submenus now features 16 customisable applications (editors, players, antivirus etc) to be used as default editors overriding system's file associations
o 8 are in form of simple to edit application list
o 8 can be more complex command lines
o various applications and antivirus are recognized by default

# Program can now be minimized to tray icon
# (Linux) program's functions can be invoked from Nautilus scripts; the scripts are provided in Freedesktop_integration folder and have to be manually copyed to Nautilus script's directory
# Various fixes and improvements

* Help is now available offline
* PeaLauncher can now act autonomously from PeaZip for extraction functions (may help porting since it is not needed to build the more complex UI of PeaZip to access to basic extraction functions which are provided by PeaLauncher itself)
* Quick extraction functions now uses PeaZip defaults rather than backend application's defaults
* Reorganized "Settings" panel

# New translations: Hungarian, Sinhala, Swedish
