WinRAR 5.20 Final:

Version 5.20

1. If Windows User Account Control prevents extracting or archiving

commands to create files in system protected folders, WinRAR attempts

to start its another copy with administrator privileges to complete

the operation. It is necessary to confirm privileges elevation

in response to User Account Control prompt to allow such second

WinRAR copy to run.

2. You can drag files in Explorer with right mouse button, drop them

to some folder and select WinRAR archiving commands in context menu

to create an archive with these files in the destination folder.

3. It is possible to use WinRAR.ini file instead of Registry to store

WinRAR settings. You may prefer such approach if you plan to install

WinRAR to removable media, such as USB flash drive, and then run it

on different computers.

See "WinRAR.ini file" topic in "Configuration settings" chapter

of WinRAR help for details.

4. Added extraction support for ZIP and ZIPX archives using

XZ compression algorithm.

5. If ZIP or ZIPX archive contains any compression algorithms except

usual "Store" or "Deflate", algorithm names are displayed

in "Version to extract" field of archive information dialog.

Algorithms with names unknown to WinRAR will be assigned "m<num>"

name, where "num" is a compression algorithm numeric identifier.

6. "Open with WinRAR" command is available in Windows context menus

for archive formats supported by WinRAR. It can be turned off

with "Open with WinRAR (for usual archives)" option in WinRAR

"Settings/Integration/Context menu items..." dialog.

7. Command line RAR can read the default set of switches from rar.ini

file stored in RAR program folder. Previously it was possible to

define only the same set of switches for all RAR command with

"switches=<switches>" string. Now rar.ini also allows to specify

separate switch sets for individual RAR commands using

the following syntax:

switches_<command>=<any RAR switches, separated by spaces>

For example:

switches_a=-m5 -s

switches_x=-o+

8. Command "ch" supports switches -tl, -cu, -cl also for ZIP archives.

Previously "ch" allowed these switches only for RAR archive format.

9. For archive formats lacking file time information, such as .bz2,

.xz and .Z, WinRAR sets container archive modification time

to extracted files. It does not apply to tar.bz2, tar.xz and tar.Z,

which use file time stored in tar headers.

10. "Keep broken files" extraction option is supported for bzip2 archives.

11. WinRAR icon in Windows context menus is scaled up correctly

in high DPI screen modes such as 150% or 200% of normal text size.

12. It is possible to disable WinRAR "Benchmark" command with

"Benchmark" variable of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\Policy

Registry key. In multi-user environment "Benchmark" command might

abuse shared computational resources. See "Registry variables" topic

in "Configuration settings" chapter of WinRAR help for more details.

13. Additionally to "sfxcmd" variable containing the entire command line,

SFX module sets "sfxpar" variable containing command line parameters

only, without leading SFX module name. These variables are set before

starting a program specified in "Setup" command.

14. File overwrite prompt in console RAR displays the size and modification

time for existing and new files.

15. When archiving from stdin with -si switch, RAR sets the current system

time to modification time of archived file. Previous version did not

set this time at all.

16. It is possible to use -si and -v<size> switches together. Previous

versions did not allow to create volumes when archiving from stdin.

17. Warning is issued when starting unpacking 4 GB or larger file

from RAR or ZIP archive to FAT32 patition, so user may cancel

the operation. FAT32 does not support files of such size.

Also this warning is issued when starting to create RAR archive

with "Store" (-m0) method if estimated archive size is 4 GB or more.

18. "Select all" button in "Settings/Integration" dialog is renamed to

"Toggle all". Now it deselects archive formats if all they are

already selected.

19. "Delete archive" extraction option correctly removes all .zip and .7z

volumes. Previously it removed only the first volume in the set

for these archive formats.
