About UnRAR:
UnRAR 3.10 beta 3.
Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
Version 3.10 beta 3

1. WinRAR displays the progress bar when creating recovery volumes.

2. "Policy" key introduced in the previous beta can be placed
also to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE has
a higher priority than in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

3. When unpacking several encrypted archives at once, console RAR
proposes to reuse a password entered for previous archive.

4. If "Default folder for archives" and "Default folder for extracted
files" fields in WinRAR settings are not blank, "Wizard" command
uses these folders as default when creating or unpacking archives.

5. Bugs fixed:

a) cursor was placed to a wrong position after "Extract To"
command in the file mode;

b) if "Test archived files" option was enabled in the default
compression profile, "Convert" command tested created archives
twice;

c) "Comment" page in the archiving dialog did not work properly
under Windows 9x/Me.


Version 3.10 beta 2

1. It is possible to disable the main menu and settings dialog
using "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\Policy" Registry key.
This feature may help to preserve WinRAR settings in multiuser
environment. Read "Configuration settings/Registry variables"
topic in winrar.hlp for more details.

2. Bugs fixed:

a) WinRAR installation did not work under Windows NT 4.0
with MSIE 4.0;

b) width of "Type" and "Modified" columns was not saved
in the file browsing mode;

c) predefined volume sizes did not work correctly.


Version 3.10 beta 1

1. New "Find" command allows to search for text string in archives
and usual files.

Its command line equivalent is 'i' command.

2. New "Convert" command converts archives from one format to other.
It can process a single archive or several selected archives
at once. It is possible to select file folders to convert their
contents.

3. Repair command:

a) "Repair" is able to correct data erasure and insertion
errors in RAR archives containing the recovery record.
Earlier it was possible to fix only those errors, when
an archive size was not changed;

b) "Repair" uses fixed.arcname.rar and rebuilt.arcname.rar
names for repaired archives, where 'arcname' is the name of
original archive. Previous versions used _recover.rar
and _reconst.rar names;

c) It is possible to select several archives in WinRAR shell
and repair them at once;

d) 'R' command accepts wildcards in the archive name to repair
several archives at once.

4. Recovery volumes:

a) WinRAR attempts to reconstruct both missing and damaged
volumes. Original copies of damaged volumes are renamed
to *.bad. Previous version was able to reconstruct only
missing volumes;

b) WinRAR automatically detects corrupt recovery volumes
and ignores them;

c) Recovery volumes naming scheme changed from <name>N1_N2_N3.rev
to less complicated <name>N.rev, where 'N' is the number of
volume. Old style recovery volumes are also recognized and
supported;

d) WinRAR displays the progress bar while reconstructing volumes.

5. SFX modules:

a) Start and License SFX dialogs had been redesigned;

b) SFX provides fully functional HTML support in "Text" command.
Earlier versions supported only very limited set of HTML tags;

c) "SavePath" SFX script command and "Save and restore paths"
option in "Advanced SFX settings" allow to save the destination
path entered by user in Registry and then restore it when
executing SFX archive next time.

6. Compression improved when adding small text files to already
existing archive using "Best" (-m5) or "Forced text" (-mct+) modes.

7. "Flat folders view" command in "Options/File list" menu switches
between the classic tree style view and flat view, when all archived
files and folders are displayed in the same list.

8. Option "Turn PC off when done" in "Advanced" part of archiving
dialog and command line switch -ioff turn a computer off after
completing an operation. Hardware must support the power off feature.

9. Sizes of ZIP-100, CD-650MB and CD-700MB disks are added
to predefined values in the volume size list in archiving dialog.

10. New command line switch -iicon<name> specifies an icon to use
in SFX archive created or updated by WinRAR. This switch is
supported only by WinRAR, console RAR does not recognize it.

11. Now WinRAR opens tar.gz and tar.bz2 archives in one step,
so users do not need to unpack .tar manually.
WinRAR does not store temporary .tar files on the disk,
all required operations are performed directly in memory.

12. WinRAR is able to decompress multipart ZIP archives
(.zip, .z01, .z02, ...).

13. New 'N' (archive number) modifier for -ag switch and
"Generate archive name by mask" backup option of archiving dialog.

WinRAR searches for already existing archive with a generated name
and if it is found, increments the archive number until generating
a unique name. For example, if you use -agyymmdd-nn several
times in the same day, every new archive name will include a new
increasing number.

14. If rarfiles.lst contains such two masks that all files matched
by first mask are also matched by second, the first mask will
have higher priority, even if it is placed after the second.
For example, in case of *.cpp and f*.cpp masks, f*.cpp has higher
priority.

15. WinRAR displays CRC16 column inside of LZH archives.

16. It is possible to disable the main menu and settings dialog
using "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WinRAR\Policy" or
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\Policy" Registry key.
This feature may help to preserve WinRAR settings in multiuser
environment. Read "Configuration settings/Registry variables"
topic in winrar.hlp for more details.
