Version 7.00 beta 3
1. Faster CRC32 checksum calculation improves extraction and archiving
performance for archives utilizing this type of checksum.
Speed improvement can be noticeable when extracting large files,
especially files saved in "Store" mode without compression.
2. "What's new" and "Run WinRAR" buttons are added to window
completing WinRAR installation.
3. "Archive comment:" string is displayed before the archive comment
in the console RAR.
4. Bugs fixed:
a) information about the total number of files and folders
in WinRAR status bar always displayed 1 folder;
b) "Checksum" column wasn't displayed until turning it off
and then on in column settings.
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_USER\Software\WinRAR\Policy" 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
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 ******
dictionary size or missing completely;
e) '+' character from "Generate archive name by mask" string was
included into resulting archive name;
f) environment variables were not expanded in command parameters
inside of SFX archive script.
