WinRAR

Version 3.90 beta 1

1. WinRAR version for Windows x64 is available. If you use
Windows x64, it is strongly recommended to install 64 bit
WinRAR version. It provides a higher performance and better
shell integration than 32 bit version.

2. RAR compression speed is improved for multi-core
and multi-CPU systems. This improvement is most noticeable
in Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.

3. "Remove duplicate folders from extraction path" option
in "Settings/Compression" dialog is replaced by more universal
"Remove redundant folders from extraction path" option.
This option will eliminate redundant archive name based folders
from extraction path if you unpack an archive with
"Extract to DestName\" context menu command and if archive
root folder contains only one folder and no files.

4. Changes in "Extraction path and options" dialog:

a) "New folder" button creates a new subfolder in currently
selected folder;

b) F2 key renames a selected folder in the folders tree;

c) F5 key updated the tree pane contents;

d) Del key removes a selected folder in the folders tree.

5. You can enable "Show seconds" option in "Settings/File list"
dialog if you wish to see seconds in file dates in file list
in WinRAR shell.

6. "Where to check for SFX archives" options group
in "Settings/Integration/Context menus items" dialog lets
you to control processing of SFX archives in context menus.
For example, if you frequently right click ".exe" files
on slow network disks, you can turn off "Network disks" options
to minimize the delay before displaying the context menu.

7. If you sort files by name in the file list in WinRAR shell,
WinRAR will use the new logical file name sorting,
same as in Windows Explorer, considering digits in file names
by their numerical value. So files will be sorted as
1.txt, 2.txt, 10.txt instead of previous 1.txt, 10.txt, 2.txt.
This new sort behavior is available in Windows XP Service Pack 2
and newer.

8. Ctrl+W key combination can be used to close the main WinRAR window
also as WinRAR viewer windows. "View as Windows text" shortcut
in WinRAR viewer changed from Ctrl+W to Ctrl+I.

9. New command line switch -r- disables recursion completely.
So 'rar a -r- arc dirname' command will add only the empty
dirname folder and ignore its contents. By default, if dirname
does not include wildcards, RAR adds its contents even if
-r switch is not specified.

10. If used when extracting, the new command line switch -ai forces
RAR to ignore file attributes. When using this switch,
extracted files will always have attributes assigned by
operating system to a newly created file by default.

11. If output file name is not specified in "cw" command, console RAR
will send comment data to stdout.

12. When compressing stdin data with -si[name] switch, RAR sets
modification time of archived entry to current system time.
Previous RAR versions did not fill this field, resulting in
meaningless modification time for stdin.

13. Message displayed when you place the mouse cursor on WinRAR
tray icon includes the archive name now. Previously only
time left and total percent were displayed for archiving operations.

14. Bugs fixed:

a) WinRAR could fail to open tar or tar.gz archive if such archive
contained a file larger than 8 GB;

b) WinRAR context menu did not work properly in Windows 7 beta
if icons in context menus were enabled and user clicked
a file inside of Windows 7 Library folder;

c) previous WinRAR versions failed to rename files having 5 or more
continuous spaces in the name. WinRAR shell does not display
such spaces for safety reasons, because they can hide an actual
file extension. But this security measure prevented the rename
command to work properly.

64bitni 3.9 u odnosu na 32bitni 3.7 je za nekih 30-ak procenata brzi po onom njegovom benchmarku!!

 

[BigJoe]

Koncano i 64-bitni WinRAR. Bas sam se pitao hoce li se pojaviti s obzirom da bezplatni 7-Zip vec dugo postoji i u 64-bitnoj verziji.

Sjajno, skinuo, radi kao zmaj

AMIN to that my brother!
Sad opet moze da se shpekulishe da li je u globalu bolji arhiver WinRAR ili 7-zip

 

[Kaurin]

sad cu da ga benchujem

Zasto ne mogu da editujem post posle nekog vremena?
sad moram da doublepostujem

elem:

Oba programa su 64bit varijante istih
evo je slika u toku kompresije (u isto vreme sam kompresovao jer imam quadcore pa nije frka)

Spojler

A evo su i podesavanja oba programa

Spojler

Nisam video koliko im je tacno trebalo vremena da zavrse kompresiju, mada nije ni merodavno posto su oba procesa picila u isto vreme (i verovatno gusila jedan drugi).

Fajlovi koji su nastali tako zauzimali su :
Originalan Fajl: 1.70gb
7Zip: 1.62gb
WinRar: 1.64gb

Sa time sto je winrar pod navedenim podesavanjima nekih 15-20% od 7zip-a

Boga mi, cini mi se da winrar prestuze 7zip u smislu brzina/ratio. Cekam da neko objavi neki detaljan bench da vidim da li su mi sumlje opravdanje

Version 3.90 beta 2

Changes in Version 3.90 Beta 2:
1. Delay between right clicking selected files in Windows Explorer and displaying
the context menu is reduced. This delay can be noticeable, when you right click
several thousands of files.
2. Bugs fixed:
a) dragging a file over an existing archive in Windows Explorer did not work
for 64 bit WinRAR;
b) 64 bit beta 1 shell extension crashed if user right clicked "Startup"
folder in Start Menu and selected "Open" or "Explore" commands;
c) "Scan archive for viruses" command in 64 bit beta 1 could fail
to autodetect some of 32 bit antiviruses detected by 32 bit version;
d) beta 1 hung when the entire folder specified as a mask was excluded: ‘rar
a -xfolder arc folder’;
e) sometimes beta 1 could hang when creating a new RAR archive if archive comment
or one of advanced NTFS options was specified;
f) ZIP encryption code was updated to include recent InfoZip fixes;
g) 64 bit version did not store the toolbar layout.

Version 3.90 beta 3

Changes in version 3.90 beta 3:
1. WinRAR displays only one password prompt when unpacking 7z archive with encrypted file names.

3. Bugs fixed:
a) WinRAR could display random characters as archive comment when browsing some ZIP SFX archives, which do not contain any archive comment;
b) switch -ed did not prevent extraction of empty folders;
c) WinRAR could fail to compress some of subfolders specified in the command line if -n switch was present;

[audiofreak]

WinRAR beta 3 je skoro 60% brzi od 7-Zip 4.65 (oba x64) na mojoj masini.

7-Zip daje 2,688 KB/sec
WinRAR daje 4,268 KB/sec

E sad, sto 7-Zip bolje pakuje .EXE fajlove...

Ali zato StuffIt bolje pakuje sve ostalo (PDF, PSD, PNG, JPG, MP3).

 

[ThePocetnik]

Nisam jos probao novi winrar, ali da li si ove rezultate dobio iz ugradjenih benchmarka u programima ili si uzeo pa nesto zapakovao(sa istim nivo-om kompresije, zip) i merio vreme?

Mada 7zip kod mene na 3.6GHz na 7z ultra kompresiji daje nesto preko 2500 KB/s u proseku, a da ne pricam kako u vecini slucajeva daje fajlove barem 20-30% manje nego sto bi dao zip.Nekada na nekim slucajevima kao npr. pakovanjem sacuvanih pozicija u igrama razlika bude i par puta u korist 7z arhive.

Ugradjeni benchmark. Medjutim, napravio sam gresku, za 7-Zip sam gledao current a ne resulting. Resulting je ~13,000 KB/sec mada ja licno ne verujem da bi zaista postigao tu brzinu u realnoj upotrebi. Moracu da probam test stopericom za oba.

 

[audiofreak]

Jos jedna napomena za WinRAR -- u Visti x64 SP2 rezultat je 4200 KB/sec dok je u Windows 7 rezultat svega 3000KB/sec.

 

[BigJoe]

Jos jedna napomena za WinRAR -- u Visti x64 SP2 rezultat je 4200 KB/sec dok je u Windows 7 rezultat svega 3000KB/sec.

Rekoh ti ja pre neki dan da je to do OS-a sto ja imam manji rezultat od tebe, sa betom 3 sam na nekih 3200-3300. Ranije je RAR bolje radio na XP-u a lagovao na Visti, a sad se ta razlika preselila na Vistu i W7. Verujem da ce do final verzije nekako ovo srediti.

 

[audiofreak]

Ne verujem da ce ispraviti ako mu neko ne kaze. Situacija za multi-core je jos uvek losa -- evo na primer, Photoshop CS4 mi vidi samo 2 jezgra, 7-Zip ne da da izaberem vise od 2 threada od mogucih 8 itd, itd.

 

[BigJoe]

Evo u XP-u x64 imam 4470KB/s na istoj masini na kojoj sam u W7 imao ~3200-3300KB/s.

Ne znam gde da stavim ovo moje pitanjce pa sad, ako ovde nije mesto...
Naime, nije mi jasno sledece: Kako je Turion brzi od Athlona x2???

 

[BigJoe]

Pa uključi multithreading

 

[Darche]

Pa uključi multithreading

Pa namerno nisam zbog turiona. Kad ga ukljucim dobijam jedva 650KB/s, dok mi je stari rar 3.8 pokazivao oko 900KB/s

WinRAR 3.91

32 bit
64 bit

Version 3.91

1. This version can decompress 7-Zip archives created with
LZMA2 algorithm.

2. Now a password is requested only once when unpacking 7z archives
with encrypted file names from context menu. WinRAR 3.90 asked it
twice.

3. This version can unpack tar.bz2 archives consisting of several
smaller bz2 streams merged together. Previous versions unpacked
only the first nested bz2 stream in such composite archive.

4. WinRAR displays CRC32 of files inside of usual .gz (not .tar.gz)
archives. Previous versions left this field blank for GZIP files.

5. Bugs fixed:

a) WinRAR 3.90 displayed "Save" button instead of "Open" or "OK"
in "Find archive" dialog ("Open archive" command in "File" menu
and "Browse..." command in archiving dialog);

b) WinRAR could display incorrect file names when browsing malformed
ZIP archives;

c) WinRAR 3.90 failed to decompress LZH archives created with
"-lh7-" algorithm;

d) WinRAR 3.90 could fail to delete a part of files after archiving
if delete to Recycle Bin was enabled. This bug was present
when working in Windows XP, but not in Windows Vista and Windows 7;

e) when unpacking ISO file using WinRAR "Extract files..." command
in Explorer context menu, WinRAR could unpack same archived files
twice during the same operation. It displayed the overwrite prompt
when unpacking files for the second time;

f) hexadecimal search in WinRAR 3.90 "Find" command and console RAR
"ih" command failed to find matches if first byte in search string
was greater than 127.

 

[illidan]

Version 3.92

1. If you start WinRAR command from Explorer context menu in multiple
monitor configuration, the command dialog will be displayed
on the same monitor as context menu. In previous versions it was
always displayed on primary monitor.

2. WinRAR "Compress and email..." context menu command adds the archive
name to email subject. Previous versions left the subject blank.

3. In RAR 3.91 -x switch could also exclude folders from archiving
even if mask contained wilcard characters and did not contain a path.
For example, -x*. excluded all those folders, which do not have
the extension in the name. Now -x switch uses RAR 3.80 approach
for masks without path, excluding folders only if mask does not
contain wildcards and matches the folder name exactly.

4. Bugs fixed:

a) WinRAR 3.91 reported the incorrect "Unexpected end of archive"
error, when opening an empty ZIP archive created with
"New WinRAR ZIP archive" context menu command;

b) if "Delete archive" option was enabled when unpacking several
ZIP archives and if one of archives was damaged, WinRAR did not
delete archives after the damaged one, even if they were unpacked
successfully;

c) if file matched two different masks in RarFiles.lst, WinRAR
could select the last match. Normally, if neither of masks
is a subset of another, the first match must be chosen.
