PeaZip project turns 20 this year

[Giorgio Tani]

20 years ago, about this time of the year, I was starting Pea-Peach project, which would have become PeaZip later that year.

Lazarus IDE was my choice as the best option to maintain a native application over multiple platforms and architectures.
Also, the availability of the excellent Open Source math and cryptography library from the late Wolfgang Ehrhardt was a key factor in selecting Delphi/FreePascal as language for the project.

Computing landscape and users expectations sure changed a lot in those two decades, and users feedback was pivotal to keep the project on track in evolving alongside the ever changing needs and potentialities.
