WinRAR is an archiving utility that completely supports RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives. It consistently makes smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs.

WinRAR offers a graphic interactive interface utilizing mouse and menus as well as the command line interface. WinRAR is easier to use than many other archivers with the inclusion of a special “Wizard” mode which allows instant access to the basic archiving functions through a simple question and answer procedure.

WinRAR offers you the benefit of industry strength archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a key of 128 bits. It supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. It also offers the ability to create selfextracting and multivolume archives. With recovery record and recovery volumes, you can reconstruct even physically damaged archives.

Changelog:

1. Added support for file sizes stored in binary format in TAR archives.
   Some TAR archives use the binary size format instead of octal
   for files larger than 8 GB.
2. Bugs fixed:
   • “Repair” command failed to properly reconstruct structure
     of RAR archives, which contained at least one file with packed
     size exceeding 4 GB.

   This bug did not affect the recovery record based repair.
   It happened only if recovery record was not found and WinRAR
   performed reconstruction of archive structure;

   • even if “Do not extract paths” option in “Advanced” part of
     extraction dialog was set as the default, WinRAR still unpacked
     file paths if called from Explorer context menu;
   • after entering a wrong password for encrypted ZIP archive,
     sometimes WinRAR ignored subsequent attempts to enter a valid
     password;
   • “Wizard” command did not allow to create self-extracting
     and multivolume archives, when compressing a single folder
     or a file without extension;
   • “Import settings from file” command did not restore multiline
     comments in WinRAR compression profiles;
   • when converting RAR volumes having name1.name2.part#.rar name format,
     “Convert archives” command erroneously removed “.name2″ name part.
     So resulting archive had name1.rar file name instead of expected
     name1.name2.rar;
   • RAR could crash when creating a new archive with -agNNN switch
     if archive number in generated name was 110 or larger;
   • WinRAR failed to display non-English file names in 7-Zip archives
     properly if they used a non-default code page. It was the display
     only problem, such names were unpacked correctly.
