WinRAR 5.61 Beta 1
WinRAR 5.61 Beta 1
WinRAR 5 is a powerful archive manager for Windows, Linux, Mac. This is a powerful compression tool with many integrated additional functions to help you organize your compressed archives. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format. The archiver puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well. WinRAR is ideal for multimedia files. It automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method.
The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well. RAR files can usually compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can.

It is ideal for multimedia files. Automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method. The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well.
Allows you to split archives into separate volumes easily, making it possible to save them on several disks for example.
Allows you to create selfextracting and multivolume archives.
Recovery record and recovery volumes allow to reconstruct even physically damaged archives.
It is also ideal, if you are sending data through the web. Its 256 bit password encryption and its authenticated signature technology will give you the peace of mind you have been looking for.
It 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. This avoids confusion in the early stages of use.

Version 5.61 beta 1
1. "Delete archive" extraction option deletes all volumes even if user
started extraction from non-first RAR volume, but first volume
is present and all files are unpacked successfully. In such case
previous versions ignored "Delete archive" even if WinRAR was able
to locate the first volume and process the volume set from beginning.
2. Compression ratio bar is not displayed on "Archive" page of
Explorer file properties for archives with encrypted file names.
WinRAR cannot reliably calculate it for such archives without
a password and previously it just displayed 0% here.
3. Bugs fixed:
a) WinRAR displayed "The specified password is incorrect" message
infinitely when attempting to open RAR5 archive with encrypted
file names if wrong global password was set with Ctrl+P;
b) memory management bug in the password dialog could lead to
access to already freed memory followed by crash.
This issue may be also associated with security risks;
c) fixed a crash when processing corrupt RAR archives.
This issue may be also associated with security risks;
d) while starting, WinRAR could cause a brief flickering in menu bars
of few other applications;
e) WinRAR "Find" command matched "String to find" against all
archived files ignoring "File names to find" mask when searching
in CAB archives;
f) SFX module "License" command did not set a title of license window;
g) if "Start-up folder" in WinRAR settings included the trailing
backslash, WinRAR ignored first "Up one level" command.
