WinRAR

1 კვირის უკან WinRAR 7.1 ფინალური ბილდი გამოვიდა შემდეგი ჩეინჯლოგით:

 Version 7.10

   1. "Settings/General" dialog page is split to "Settings/Interface"
      and "Settings/System" pages. Dialog navigation uses vertical tabs
      instead of horizontal.
   
   2. WinRAR sets the dark interface mode if "Color mode" option
      in "Settings/Interface" is set to "Dark". This option can enable
      dark and light modes unconditionally or use Windows color mode settings.

   3. "Large memory pages" option in "Settings/System" dialog and -mlp
      command line switch enable using 2 MB memory pages instead of
      default 4 KB, when allocating large memory areas in RAR archive
      format compression and extraction routines.

      It allows to improve archiving and, in some cases, extraction speed.
      Typically the performance gain is more significant for bigger
      compression dictionaries and slower compression methods.

      This feature requires "Lock pages in memory" privilege
      and if it is missing, WinRAR proposes to assign it to the current
      user account, making it available for other software too.
      Windows restart is necessary to activate the newly assigned privilege.
   
   4. "Zone value only" option in "Settings/Security" dialog controls
      if archive Mark of the Web propagation includes only the security zone
      value or all available fields.

      While additional fields, such as a download location or IP address,
      might help to identify a file source, they can be a privacy concern
      if file is shared with other persons.

   5. Switch -om[-|1][=list] controls Mark of the Web propagation
      in WinRAR and console RAR command line mode.

   6. Windows Vista and 32-bit Windows are not supported anymore.
      WinRAR requires Windows 7 x64 or later.

      Unlike WinRAR, 32-bit self-extracting modules are still provided
      as a part of 64-bit installation package.

   7. "Auto", "Always on" and "Disable" choices are now available
      for "Delta compression" and "Executable compression" options
      in "Advanced compression parameters" dialog.
      
      To improve the compression speed, "Auto" applies these options
      depending on the compression method, such as disabling them
      for "Fastest" and "Fast" methods. Use "Always on" to enable them
      for all methods.

   8. Name of environment variable to store the default set of RAR switches
      is changed from "RAR" to "RARINISWITCHES". It is rather typical
      for batch scripts to use "RAR" environment variable name to store
      RAR executable pathname, which led to the name conflict previously.

   9. "Completion message title" and "Completion message text" options
      on "Text" page of "Advanced SFX options" dialog allow to define
      a custom message displayed on the successful completion of SFX archive
      extraction.

      This message can also be added with "TextDone" script command.

      SFX logo and icon options are moved to the new "Logo and icon" page
      of "Advanced SFX options" dialog. Dialog navigation uses vertical tabs
      instead of horizontal.
   
  10. Windows 11 context menu:

      a) compression profiles in the new context menu are placed above
         extraction commands, similarly to the legacy context menu;

      b) separator lines are inserted between archive open, extraction
         and archiving command groups.

  11. When extracting a file with NTFS "Compressed" attribute,
      this attribute is assigned in the beginning of file extraction.
      Typically it reduces the extraction time compared to assigning it
      after writing the file data.

  12. When adding files to existing RAR archive, folders previously stored
      in such archive are moved to a position after newly added files.
      So folder timestamps are set after extracting all files and are not
      modified when creating files inside of these folders.

  13. Temporary file isn't created anymore for "rar ch -tl" command if other
      switches or archive parameters do not imply the archive modification.
      Modification time of newest archived file is set directly to original
      archive file, without copying the archive data. It reduces disk write
      and processing time.
   
  14. If archive is truncated at recovery record or quick open information
      service blocks, the additional message with truncated block type
      is displayed after the standard "Unexpected end of archive".
   
  15. RAR compression algorithm can use multiple Windows processor groups
      to utilize up to maximum supported 64 logical processors.
      It can improve RAR compression speed on systems with logical
      processors number exceeding 64 and not multiple of 64.

      Previously the maximum number of logical processors was limited
      to a single processor group size, such as 36 for 72 processors.

  16. Additionally to size, a percent of archive size is also displayed
      for recovery record in "Show information" command.
     
      For RAR 5.0 archives it is the exact value specified when creating
      the recovery record. For older RAR formats it is the approximate value
      calculated from the available data.

  17. When opening a nested archive from another archive opened in WinRAR,
      Mark of the Web data will be assigned to nested archive unless
      "Propagate Mark of the Web" option in WinRAR "Settings/Security"
      is set to "Never". Previously it was assigned only if this option
      was set to "For all files" or to "For user defined types" and list
      of user defined types included the archive extension.

      Also "For office files" and "For executable and office files" lists
      now include popular archive extensions supported by WinRAR.
      
      Assigning Mark of the Web data to nested archives allows to propagate
      it to files extracted from such archives, which wasn't done by default
      in previous versions.

      We are thankful to Qize Wang (ADLab of VenusTech) for bringing this
      issue to our attention.

  18. Bugs fixed:

      a) if new files have been added to existing semi-solid RAR archive
         created with -se or -s switches, such files could be damaged.
         This issue doesn't affect usual solid archives created with -s,
         also as non-solid archives;

      b) even though the long range search isn't used with -m1 "fastest"
         compression method, switches -m1 -mcl+ or -m1 -mcl with 256MB
         or larger compression dictionary still allocated memory required
         for long range search algorithm;

      c) if "Remove redundant folders from extraction path" option was on
         when extracting a file from archive subfolder, clicking on ".."
         in the file list afterwards displayed the folder with the archive
         file instead of parent folder inside of archive;

      d) if application was started from archive and created multiple files
         with monotonically growing date, WinRAR could issue archive update
         prompts for every created file instead of a single prompt.

WinRAR 7.11 beta 1 ბილდი გამოვიდა შემდეგი ჩეინჯლოგით:

   Version 7.11 beta 1

  1. If "Add to archive..." Explorer context menu command is applied to
     multiple archives in the disk root, for example, d:\arc1.rar
     and d:\arc2.rar, WinRAR will propose arc1_rar.rar default name
     for a new archive. Previous version proposed arc1.rar, updating one
     of selected archives instead of creating a new one.
  
  2. Bugs fixed:

     a) WinRAR 7.10 failed to update solid archives containing a folder
        record placed before a file record. It issued the checksum error
        message and aborted processing.

        As a result of this fix, this version preserves the original position
        of such folders after updating and doesn't move them to the end
        of archive as WinRAR 7.10 did;
     
     b) when extracting a file from CAB archive over an existing file,
        existing files were overwritten, but not truncated.
        So if existing file was larger than extracted, existing file data
        had been left at the end of the extracted file;
     
     c) if SFX module from "Advanced SFX options" dialog was stored
        in the compression profile, it was applied as is, even if archive
        format was changed after selecting the profile. It could result
        in SFX module mismatching the archive format;

     d) choosing a value in bytes from drop down list associated
        with archive dialog "Split to volumes, size" field didn't set
        units to bytes automatically;

     e) if SFX "TextDone" command was used together with "Silent"
        and "TempMode" commands, the completion message was sometimes
        displayed behind other opened windows.

     f) if symlink pointing at an executable was started from WinRAR shell,
        the executable Mark of the Web data was ignored. We are thankful
        to Shimamine Taihei of Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc
        for reporting this issue.

WinRAR 7.12 ფინალური ბილდი გამოვიდა გუშინ შემდეგი ჩეინჯლოგით:

 Version 7.12

  1. When extracting a file, previous versions of WinRAR, Windows versions
     of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code and UnRAR.dll can be tricked
     into using a path, defined in a specially crafted archive,
     instead of user specified path.

     Unix versions of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code
     and UnRAR library, also as RAR for Android, are not affected.

     We are thankful to whs3-detonator working with Trend Micro Zero Day
     Initiative for letting us know about this security issue.

  2. Previously "Generate report" command included archived file names
     into HTML report as is, allowing to inject potentially unsafe HTML tags
     into the report. To prevent such injection the current version replaces
     < and > file name characters in HTML report with < and > strings.

     We are thankful to Marcin Bobryk (github.com/MarcinB44) for bringing
     this security issue to our attention.
  
  3. If "Test archived files" and "recovery volumes" archiving options
     are used together, recovery volumes are also tested. Previous versions
     completed the test before creating recovery volumes, so they hadn't
     been verified.

  4. Nanosecond file time precision is preserved for Unix file records
     when modifying RAR archive in Windows. Previously it was converted
     to Windows 100 nanosecond precision.

WinRAR 7.13 ფინალური ბილდი გამოვიდა 30 ივლისს ჯერ კიდევ შემდეგი ჩეინჯლოგით:

  Version 7.13

  1. Another directory traversal vulnerability, differing from that
     in WinRAR 7.12, has been fixed.

     When extracting a file, previous versions of WinRAR, Windows versions
     of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code and UnRAR.dll can be tricked
     into using a path, defined in a specially crafted archive,
     instead of user specified path.

     Unix versions of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code
     and UnRAR library, also as RAR for Android, are not affected.

     We are thankful to Anton Cherepanov, Peter Kosinar, and Peter Strycek
     from ESET for letting us know about this security issue.
  
  2. Bugs fixed:

     a) WinRAR 7.12 "Import settings from file" command failed to restore
        settings, saved by WinRAR versions preceding 7.12;

     b) WinRAR 7.12 set a larger than specified recovery size for compression
        profiles, created by WinRAR 5.21 and older.

29 ოქტომბერს WinRAR 7.20 beta 1  ბილდი გამოვიდა შემდეგი ჩეინჯლოგით:

 Version 7.20 beta 1

  1. Performance improvements when deleting files in solid RAR archives:

     a) if there are no non-zero files after deleted files, archive
        recompressing isn't performed;
     
     b) part of archive before deleted files is copied as is, without
        repacking. Its contents is unpacked to memory if necessary,
        but not recompressed;

     c) semi-solid archive processing involves only solid blocks containing
        deleted files. Unaffected solid blocks are copied as is.
  
  2. "Generate archive name by mask" archiving option and -ag command line
      switch:

     a) new 'K' format character defines the current day of week 
        name as a text string;

     b) new 'O' format character defines the current month name as a text
        string regardless of format character number. Unlike "MMM" mask,
        it allows to use shorter or longer than 3 character names,
        such as -agOO;

     c) excessive format characters exceeding the available field width
        are now ignored instead of appending to archive name.
        So it is possible to use full month or week day names by providing
        format characters in the amount equal or exceeding the longest name,
        such as -agKKKKKKKKKK for day of week names.
  
  3. Command line -s switch:
  
     a) switch -s accepts the optional parameter preceded by '=' character.
        
        Switches -s, -se, -sv, -sv-, -s- are replaced by -s=f, -s=e,
        -s=v, -s=d, -s=-. Previous versions of these switches are still
        supported in the current version, but can be removed in the future.

        It is allowed to combine multiple modifiers in the same switch,
        such as -s=e100f.

     b) new switch -s=r resets the solid statistics before adding new files
        to existing archive.
  
  4. Switch -tk now accepts the optional date parameter in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
     format. If used without parameter when modifying an archive,
     it preserves the original archive time. If optional parameter
     is present, it is assigned to archive modification time.

     It is allowed to insert separators like '-' or ':' to the date string
     and omit trailing fields. For example, switch -tk2025-06-01 is correct.

  5. "Specified time" is added to "Set archive time to" options on "Time"
     page of archiving dialog. It allows to assign the manually entered time
     to newly created or modified archives.
  
  6. UTF-8 output format and byte order mark options are added to
     "Generate report" command.
  
  7. "Cloud files" option is added to "Where to check for SFX archives"
     group in "Settings/Integration/Context menu items..." dialog.

     If this option is off, WinRAR shell extension will not attempt
     to detect if archive is self-extracting, when right clicking
     an executable cloud file not available locally. This detection
     involves data read and can be slow for such files.

     This option relies on file attributes returned by a cloud storage
     provider and can be ignored if required attribute isn't supported
     by specific cloud service.

  8. "Copy to clipboard" button at the bottom of "Search results" dialog
     places current results of "Find files" command to clipboard.

  9. It takes less time to open a large archive with a lot of files
     and folders in WinRAR file list. This is most noticeable for ZIP
     archives containing millions of files.

 10. Improved extraction speed of TAR and TAR based archives,
     such as .tar.gz or tar.xz. It is most visible for hard disk drives
     with slower seek time and large archives containing a lot of files.

 11. SFX module sets sfxnamenoext environment variable, containing
     SFX archive name without path and extension. It allows to append
     the archive name to user defined destination path like:

     Path=c:\Util\%sfxnamenoext%"

 12. "minsize" parameter, defining the minimum file reference size
     in -oi[0-4][:] switch, now can include an optional trailing
     unit size character. So -oi:1m is the equivalent of -oi:1048576.

 13. Switch -x recognizes exclude paths with both Windows and Unix style
     path separators, so -xfolder\file and -xfolder/file do the same.
     Previously only -xfolder\file excluded the file.

 14. Bugs fixed:

     a) "Files to exclude" field of archiving dialog was ignored for all
        but first ZIP archives if "Put each file to separate archive"
        option was turned on;

     b) when processing "Convert archives" command, "Use for all archives"
        option in the password prompt was available only for encrypted
        archives with file name encryption and couldn't be enabled
        when converting archives without encrypted file names.

  Version 7.20 beta 3

  1. Original and packed file size column widths in "l" and "v" commands
     are increased by 1 symbol, so 10 digit file sizes are also displayed
     aligned by these commands.

  2. If "Reuse existing window" option is enabled when opening an archive,
     but another WinRAR copy is busy with archive processing, the archive
     is opened by current copy. Previously neither of copies opened it.

  3. Bugs fixed:

     a) previous beta failed to open archives in ZIP format with extra fields
        shorter than 4 bytes, such as some APK files;
     
     b) "Ask" option in WinRAR "Settings/Viewer/Viewer type" didn't display
        the viewer type prompt for PNG files and several other image formats;

     c) -ag switch 'k' modifier used English week day names even
        in localized versions.
