Changes in WinRAR 5.30:

Even if unpatched, this Windows OLE vulnerability does not introduce new risk factors for WinRAR SFX archives.
Please read https://rarlab.com/vuln_sfx_html2.htm for more details.
No patches for WinRAR are needed.
Added extraction of multipart ZIP archives created by 7-Zip. Such archives have .zip.001, .zip.002, ... file extensions. You need to open .zip.001 file in WinRAR shell to browse or unpack such archive. All parts must be stored in the same folder before starting extraction.
Added extraction of files split to multiple parts with .001, .002, ..., extensions. You can open .001 file as a usual archive and then unpack its contents. WinRAR will combine all parts and save them to extracted file. All parts must be stored in the same folder before starting extraction.
"001" item is included to "Associate WinRAR with" list in "Settings/Integration" dialog. [full version history]
