PeaZip 5.6.1 release notes:

PeaZip 5.6.1 release comes with revamped Help and Settings interface, and improved hotkeys for archive creation and extraction.
RAR5 file format standard support is added as separate plugin available on Add-ons page, due the non-OSI compatible license of royalty-free RarLab's unrar.
ZPAQ support is updated to 7.05 version, and it is introduced read/write support for BCM file compression format.
LIBRE_DIRECTIVE allows users to disable calls to non-free software, helping program's deployment in OSI-compliant environments.
182 file extensions are now supported.
Translations are available in 30 languages, any help is welcome to translate PeaZip to new languages and to maintain current localizations up to date, so please consider taking the time to give a look to translations directory for newer language files and for any resource useful for translators.

What's new in this version:

BACKEND

Added read only support (list, test, extract) to RAR5 format through RarLab's unrar
currently the plugin is available only for Windows or Wine/ReactOS, Linux version will be analyzed and tested for future updates
due the non-OSI compatible unrar restriction (even if the software provides sources and is royalty-free) the software is available as separate plugin on Add-Ons page
due the different syntax between RarLab's unrar and 7z/p7zip's unrar, following differences apply when handling RAR5 format
recursivity with advanced filters is always enabled
renaming options always rename the file being extracted

CODE

Added LIBRE_DIRECTIVE option to disallow any call to software which is non-free under OSI definition
if set to 0 (permissive) PeaZip will use all available backend, both free-as-in-freedom and royalty-free
if set to 1 (flexible) PeaZip will disallow any call to royalty-free but non free-as-in-freedom backend, currently: unace and unrar binaries
if set to 2 (strict) PeaZip will disallow calls even in case of dubious status, currently apply to unrar functions in 7z/p7zip due to non-reversibility clause
