WinRAR 7.00 B2 / 6.24

WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format

Features of WinRAR:
• Using WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression by consistently making smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs.
• WinRAR provides complete support for RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives.
• WinRAR offers a graphic interactive interface utilizing mouse and menus as well as the command line interface.
• WinRAR is easier to use than many other archivers with the inclusion of a special “Wizard” mode which allows instant access to the basic archiving functions through a simple question and answer procedure. This avoids confusion in the early stages of use.
• WinRAR offers you the benefit of industry strength archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a key of 128 bits.
• WinRAR supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. The number of archived files is, for all practical purposes, unlimited.
• WinRAR offers the ability to create selfextracting and multivolume archives.
Recovery record and recovery volumes allow to reconstruct even physically damaged archives.
• WinRAR features are constantly being developed to keep WinRAR ahead of the pack.

Version 7.00 beta 2

1. 64-bit WinRAR version uses 64-bit SFX modules by default.
64-bit SFX modules are needed to unpack archives with dictionaries
exceeding 1 GB.

32-bit modules are renamed to Default32.SFX, Zip32.SFX, WinCon32.SFX.

2. Maximum allowed dictionary size for archiving and extraction
can be specified in gigabytes in MaxDictA and MaxDictE variables
in “HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareWinRARPolicy” Registry key.
If these variables are smaller than corresponding values defined
in WinRAR interface, they override interface values.

3. “Benchmark” command:

a) wider text area allows to fit longer system information strings;

b) “Copy to clipboard” buttom copies both text and window screenshot.

4. Note to software developers: FCI_RAR5_COMPAT and UNPACK_MAX_DICT
values have been added in UnRAR source code 7.0.3. If earlier version
of UnRAR 7 source code was integrated into application, it is necessary
to update it to support them.

5. Console RAR filters out character 27 from screen output. It is done
for security reasons, because this character can be used to declare
ANSI escape control sequences in some terminal applications.

We are thankful to Siddharth Dushantha for bringing this issue
to our attention.

6. “Remove” option is added to “Original archive name and time” list
on “Options” page of “Info” dialog. Unlike “Do not save”, it removes
the archive information even if no other options in this dialog
are modified.

7. It is possible to enable “Packed” column in WinRAR file list also
outside of archives to see NTFS compressed file size.

8. Bugs fixed:

a) invalid names could be displayed for files inside of LZH archives;

b) archiving dialog opened from Windows 11 context menu could be
unexpectedly closed soon after opening;

c) asterisk character wasn’t displayed after encrypted archived files
in WinRAR file list;

d) value displayed as the dictionary size in archive properties
in Windows Explorer could be either by 1024 larger than actual
dictionary size or missing completely;

e) ‘+’ character from “Generate archive name by mask” string was
included into resulting archie name;

f) environment variables were not expanded in command parameters
inside of SFX archive script.
