RAR Archiver. What's new in latest version
Version 1.51
1. Sound effects are added with option Sound in configuration.
2. Now CRC errors could be logged to file RAR.LOG - option Log
errors to file in configuration. This feature is available only
in registered version.
3. Pressing Alt-J in full-screen mode while archive processing
and in menus starts DOS shell. This feature is available only
in registered version.
4. Commands 'C' and 'CF' could not be processed with
archives created by RAR versions prior to 1.50.
Version 1.50.2 beta
1. Fixed bug in command 'x' with switches -f -u.
2. Interface advances:
- clicking mouse key at top of the screen causes to
change current disk;
- Ctrl-\ causes entering root directory (changing
current directory to root).
Version 1.50.1 beta
1. Packing when insufficient memory bug fixed.
Version 1.50 beta
1. In order to get high reliability and compatibility with
different file and operating systems, the RAR archive file
format was changed (see TECHNOTE.DOC for details).
RAR 1.50 is compatible with older releases and can handle
archives created with previous versions, with the exception
of minor functions - repair, create SFX and adding authenticity
verification).
Archives created with RAR 1.50 cannot be handled by older
versions of RAR.
Due to memory limitations, the functionality of backwards
compatibility, will be reduced to a minimum.
2. Compression speed has improved in the "most compressive"
mode (when using the switch -m5).
3. Password encryption algorithm improved. Files encrypted
in archives with old RAR versions are also supported.
4. Authenticity verification feature changed. When the
archive is created with -av full integrity checking is
performed.
5. User interface improved.
6. Pressing Control-Break causes return to RAR when used
in full-screen mode, not exit to DOS as previously.
7. String search implemented in internal viewer (F7).
8. Edit function set extended for string enter.
9. Option "After command ..." removed from Configuration.
10. Option "Stdout mode" added to configuration.
11. Switch -vs removed as the identical combination
"-v -sfx" exists.
12. Volume size can now be entered in kilobytes (not only
in thousands of bytes). Add symbol 'k' for it.
