- один из самых известных архиваторов. То, что он поддерживает архивацию в формате RAR, объяснять не надо. Кроме того, программа умеет работать с архивами ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE 2.0, BZIP, JAR, UUE, GZIP, BZIP2 и 7-Zip, при этом она обладает многочисленными очень полезными возможностями - шифрование, поддержка непрерывных (solid) архивов, в которых степень сжатия может быть на 10 – 50% больше, чем при обычных методах сжатия, специальный алгоритм для сжатия мультимедийных файлов, поддержка многотомных архивов и многим другим.
Version 5.30 beta 5
1. Information about the critical vulnerability in WinRAR self-extracting
archives recently published in news is incorrect. Unfortunately
mass media failed to recognize that what was described as WinRAR
vulnerability is Windows OLE vulnerability patched in November 2014:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms14-064.aspx
Even if unpatched, this Windows OLE vulnerability does not introduce
new risk factors for WinRAR SFX archives.
Please read http://rarlab.com/vuln_sfx_html2.htm for more details.
No patches for WinRAR are needed.
2. "Import/Export" commands:
a) WinRAR performs the additional validation of Settings.reg contents
for "Import settings from file" command to prevent importing Registry
keys unrelated to WinRAR settings;
b) WinRAR specifies the full path to regedit.exe tool to prevent
running copies of "regedit" from other folders.
3. Bugs fixed:
a) If 'file' and 'file.exe' were present in the same folder
and user double clicked on 'file', WinRAR could start 'file.exe'
instead;
b) "Generate report" command could create a report in wrong folder,
not that with selected files;
c) RAR could crash when unpacking .rar archives with corrupt file
headers. Fixed now.
Version 5.30 beta 4
1. It is allowed to specify environment variables in path to external
viewer in WinRAR "Settings/Viewer" dialog.
2. Folder wildcards behavior is changed, so command like:
rar a backup c:\backup\2015*\*
will search for '2015*' folders only in c:\backup. Add -r switch
if you wish to search also in all c:\backup subfolders.
3. If wrong password is specified when extracting an encrypted file
in RAR5 archive, WinRAR will not create folders contained in file path.
Previous versions created file path folders even if file extraction
failed because of wrong password.
This change does not affect RAR 4.x format, which does not allow
to verify password validity before starting file extraction.
4. Bugs fixed:
a) "Delete files after archiving" option of default compression
profile was ignored in drag&drop operations in previous beta.
Version 5.30 beta 3
1. WinRAR treats .txz archive extension as .tar.xz and opens .txz
contents in a single step.
2. If you drag a file from another application to WinRAR holding
Shift button, a file will be deleted after archiving.
Previous versions ignored Shift state here.
3. WinRAR ignores "Turn PC off when done" option in case of read
and write errors if user pressed Cancel in repeat read or repeat write
dialogs.
4. Bugs fixed:
a) archive comment is displayed also in empty ZIP archives.
Previous versions did not display it if ZIP archive did not
contain any files;
b) Explorer window containing a temporary folder with unpacked file
could be opened when attempting to view an archived file
in a corrupt ZIP archive. File entry in a corrupt ZIP could have
a wrong "hard drive" icon.
Version 5.30 beta 2
1. SFX module sets sfxstime environment variable, which contains
the module start time in "YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-ms" format.
You can specify it in Path command if you need to generate a time
based unique installation path, such as "Path=myapp-%sfxstime%".
2. Fewer password requests in following cases in "Convert archives"
command:
a) if "Convert archives" is applied to archive with encrypted
file names, which contents is currently displayed in WinRAR;
b) if archive produced by "Convert archives" includes encrypted
file names.
3. Bugs fixed:
a) RAR volumes renamed from standard .part1.rar, .part2.rar to
.001, .002 are recognized and processed correctly now.
Previous beta opened them as set of usual split files,
not as RAR volumes;
b) reports produced with "Generate report" command contained invalid
CRC32 checksums for non-archived files;
c) "rar x arcname.rar d:" command unpacks files to d: current folder.
Previous version unpacked them to d: root folder;
d) archive comment was not encrypted if added to archive with
encrypted headers using "c" command without -hp switch.
This beta encrypts an archive comment in such case.
Version 5.30 beta 1
1. Information about the critical vulnerability in WinRAR self-extracting
archives recently published in news is incorrect. Unfortunately
mass media failed to recognize that what was described as WinRAR
vulnerability is Windows OLE vulnerability patched in November 2014:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms14-064.aspx
Even if unpatched, this Windows OLE vulnerability does not introduce
new risk factors for WinRAR SFX archives.
Please read http://rarlab.com/vuln_sfx_html2.htm for more details.
No patches for WinRAR are needed.
2. Added extraction of multipart ZIP archives created by 7-Zip.
Such archives have .zip.001, .zip.002, ... file extensions.
You need to open .zip.001 file in WinRAR shell to browse
or unpack such archive. All parts must be stored in the same folder
before starting extraction.
3. Added extraction of files split to multiple parts with .001,
.002, ..., extensions. You can open .001 file as a usual archive
and then unpack its contents. WinRAR will combine all parts
and save them to extracted file. All parts must be stored
in the same folder before starting extraction.
"001" item is included to "Associate WinRAR with" list
in "Settings/Integration" dialog.
4. WinRAR file list allows to use mouse Back and Forward buttons
or Alt+Left and Alt+Right keyboard shortcuts to navigate
in recently visited folders.
5. Folder wildcards are allowed in RAR command line in file names to
archive. For example:
rar a backup c:\backup\2015*\*
will archive all '2015*' folders in c:\backup. Use -r switch to search
for '2015*' also in c:\backup subfolders.
6. "Extract" button in SFX archive is changed to "Pause" when extraction
is started, so it is possible to pause SFX extraction and resume it
later.
7. "Skip encrypted" option in "Find files" dialog to silently skip
encrypted archives while performing search command.
8. Archive test command works for tar.gz, tar.bz2 and tar.xz archives.
Since TAR format does not provide file data checksums, WinRAR checks
only validity of GZIP, BZIP2 or XZ container.
9. Adding a new string to WinRAR diagnostic messages window could be
slow and affect the operation performance in case of thousands
of errors. Now it works fast regardless of errors number.
10. New 'R' object for -sc switch defines encoding of console
RAR messages sent to redirected files and pipes. For example:
rar lb -scur data > list.txt
will produce Unicode list.txt with archived file names.
11. Sleep time parameter in -ri
[:] switch is
adjusted to lower its impact to RAR performance and especially
to recovery record related operations. Higher sleep time values
are needed to reduce the system load to same level as
in previous versions.
12. Console RAR "l" and "v" commands display file time in YYYY-MM-DD
format.
13. When extracting RAR and ZIP archives created in Unix, WinRAR maps
decomposed Unicode characters to precomposed. Such conversion
is required for some Unix and OS X archives to correctly unpack
non-English archived names in Windows. It works for Windows versions
starting from Windows Vista.
14. Modification time is set for all folders created when unpacking
.7z archives. Previous versions set it only for non-empty folders.
15. WinRAR prevents a computer to go to sleep by inactivity timeout
until current operation, such as archiving, extraction or another
archive processing, is done.
16. Total progress bar is displayed when extracting .arj, .lzh and .cab
archives (except multivolume archives).
17. Progress bar is displayed when deleting files after archiving
and when clearing "Archive" attribute of archived files.
18. "Test" command also verifies contents of NTFS alternate data streams
in RAR 3.x - 5.x archives. Previously their contents was checked
only during extraction command.
19. SFX module sets sfxstime environment variable, which contains
the module start time in "YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-ms" format.
You can specify it in Path command if you need to generate a time
based unique installation path, such as "Path=myapp-%sfxstime%".
20. Bugs fixed:
a) console RAR crashed instead of displaying an overwrite prompt
when attempting to add files to already existing volumes;
b) console RAR "lt" command did not display seconds in file timestamp;
c) WinRAR failed to decompress .xxe files if they did not include
"section N of xxencode" string in the body;
d) WinRAR could not restore contents of NTFS alternate data stream
saved with -os switch if it was split between different volumes.
