Version 3.92 beta 1
1. If you start WinRAR command from Explorer context menu in multiple
monitor configuration, the command dialog will be displayed
on the same monitor as context menu. In previous versions it was
always displayed on primary monitor.
2. WinRAR "Compress and email..." context menu command adds the archive
name to email subject. Previous versions left the subject blank.
3. In RAR 3.91 -x switch could also exclude folders from archiving
even if mask contained wilcard characters and did not contain a path.
For example, -x*. excluded all those folders, which do not have
the extension in the name. Now -x switch uses RAR 3.80 approach
for masks without path, excluding folders only if mask does not
contain wildcards and matches the folder name exactly.
4. Bugs fixed:
a) WinRAR 3.91 reported the incorrect "Unexpected end of archive"
error, when opening an empty ZIP archive created with
"New WinRAR ZIP archive" context menu command;
b) if "Delete archive" option was enabled when unpacking several
ZIP archives and if one of archives was damaged, WinRAR did not
delete archives after the damaged one, even if they were unpacked
successfully;
c) if file matched two different masks in RarFiles.lst, WinRAR
could select the last match. Normally, if neither of masks
is a subset of another, the first match must be chosen.
Version 4.00 beta 5
1. Now WinRAR command line mode -ibck switch is applicable to most of
archive processing operations, not just archiving and extracting.
2. Default compression profile options do not modify extraction behavior
anymore and "Background archiving" option does not work for extraction.
So we added the separate "Background extraction" option in "Advanced"
part of extraction dialog. You can save the default state of this option
with "Save settings" button in "General" part of extraction dialog,
just like for other extraction options.
3. Switch -cfg- disables use of "Default folder for archives" from
WinRAR settings in WinRAR command line mode. Also it forces WinRAR
to ignore "Select for archives" fields in "Organize passwords" dialog.
4. "Mode..." button in the operation progress window is enabled also
when extracting or testing archives. It provides access to
"Command parameters" dialog, where you can set "Turn PC off when done"
option for extraction and test operations.
Previously this dialog was accessible only when archiving.
5. Double clicking on a password record in "Organize passwords" dialog
works like "Edit" button, opening "Password information" dialog.
Previous beta versions ignored the double click in "Organize passwords".
6. Bugs fixed:
a) "a" and "s" commands with -iicon and -iimg switches did not remove
temporary files in WinRAR temporary folder after completion;
b) "Enable autocomplete" option in "Organize passwords" dialog
did not allow to disable the autocomplete feature in Windows XP.
Version 4.00 beta 6
1. Bugs fixed:
a) "Use for all archives" option in the password dialog did not work
for several 7-Zip archives with encrypted file names;
b) "Rename" command could fail to rename archived folders with
non-English names in RAR archives created by old WinRAR versions;
c) when WinRAR was running in the background, its tray icon messages
were truncated if longer than 63 characters.
Version 4.00 beta 7
1. Bugs fixed:
a) "Prediction order", "Memory to use" and "Channels" fields
in "Advanced compression parameters" dialog, "Lowest allowed ratio"
in archive conversion dialog, "recovery volumes" field in archiving
dialog did not provide enough space to enter maximum values allowed
for these parameters. Now the width of these controls is increased.
# New
* RAR 5.0 archives can include an optional quick open information controlled with -qo[-|+] switch or "Quick open information" options group in archiving dialog. It allows to open the archive contents in WinRAR faster. This version provides better update performance for archives containing both quick open information and service records, such as NTFS file security. Also default parameters of quick open information are optimized to achieve faster open time for such archives.
# Bugs fixed:
* "Find" command could fail when searching text string in .7z archives
* when opening RAR 5.0 archive with encrypted file names stored in another such archive, WinRAR could issue an erroneous message that password is incorrect. It happened only if passwords to inner and outer archives were different. It did not affect extraction, all files could be unpacked regardless of this message
* option "Use for all archives" in password dialog did not suppress additional password requests for RAR 5.0 archives with encrypted file names
* WinRAR address bar did not process correctly environment variable based paths, such as %temp%
* storing NTFS file security and alternate data streams did not work for file pathnames longer than 260 characters;
* "Test" command could erroneously report damaged data in valid recovery record if only a part of files in RAR 5.0 archive was tested. It did not happen if entire archive contents was tested
* "Test" command erroneously reported errors when verifying RAR 4.x Unix symbolic links
* WinRAR "View" command did not work for files inside of BZIP2 archives
* if "High precision modification time" option in archiving dialog was turned off, WinRAR did not store the modification time at all instead of storing a lower precision time
* destination paths containing .\ or ..\ component did not work when extracting non-RAR archives in WinRAR command line mode
* WinRAR failed to unpack multivolume CAB archives.
