WinRAR 7.10 Beta 2

WinRAR

WinRAR is an archiving utility that completely supports RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives. It consistently makes smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs. 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 self extracting and multi volume archives. With recovery record and recovery volumes, you can reconstruct even physically damaged archives.

Major changes in WinRAR 7.10 Beta 2 chnagelog:

  • Numerous dark mode improvements and fixes.
  • "Dark mode" options in "Settings/Interface" are renamed to "Color mode".
  • It takes less time for WinRAR items in Windows 11 context menu to appear, when right clicking a lot of selected archives.
  • Exporting settings with "Export settings to file" command of "Options/Import and export" submenu doesn't trigger User Account Control prompts anymore.
  • "Bad archive" exit code 13 is returned in the command line mode, when attempting to unpack a non-RAR archive with .rar file extension.
  • "External viewer name" field in "Settings/Viewer" recognizes "\", "..\" or ".\" in the beginning of path, allowing to specify paths relative to WinRAR program folder. Paths like \utils\viewer.exe, ..\viewer.exe or .\viewer.exe can be helpful for WinRAR installation on USB drive without a fixed drive letter

Bugs fixed:

  • compression speed could be lower than expected for rare specific combination of source data in a non-solid archive;
  • console RAR fell into infinite loop, when trying to process user input in prompts like the overwrite prompt in Windows 7;
  • running executables from archive subfolders failed with "Cannot execute" error;
  • WinRAR.ini contents could be reset if "Reuse existing window" option was on and multiple archives were opened in the same WinRAR window.
