WinRAR version
 Corrected a bug in multithreaded text compression
module, which under some circumstances might result in corrupt archived
data. This bug was present only in multithreaded mode and only in WinRAR
3.60. RAR versions for other platforms are not affected
Multithreaded version of RAR compression algorithm
improves the compression speed on computers with several CPU, dual core
CPU and processors with hyperthreading technology. Multithreading is
enabled by default, but you can disable it in "General" part of
"Settings" dialog
In the command line mode you
can control multithreading with -mt switch
WinRAR can display the folder tree panel allowing to
navigate in disk and archive folders. Use "Options/Folder tree"
submenu to enable the folder tree. It can be configured separately in
file and archive management modes
Folder tree replaces
"Browse for folder" command previously available in
"File" menu and uses its Ctrl+T keyboard shortcut.
Now WinRAR "Rename" command also works with
ZIP archives. Previous versions could rename files only in RAR archives.
Added decompression of LZH archives created with
"-lh7-" algorithm.
New "Remove duplicate folders from extraction
path" option in "Settings/Compression" dialog
If this option is on and you
unpack an archive which root folder has no files and only one 'somename'
folder and if destination folder is new or empty and also ends with
'/somename', WinRAR will exclude one 'somename' from resulting
'somename/somename' path.
New "Define volume sizes..." button in
"Settings/Compression". This button activates "Define
volume sizes" dialog. Here you can customize the list of predefined
volume sizes associated with "Split to volumes, bytes" field in
archiving dialog.
Speed of RAR general compression increased for some
data types. Depending on data type and size the gain may achieve 5 - 15%.
New "Rename automatically" option in the
extraction dialog and command line -or switch to rename extracted files
automatically if file with the same name already exists. You can also
enable the auto-renaming mode directly from the overwrite confirmation
prompt with "Rename All" button.
Renamed files will get names
like 'filename(N).txt', where 'filename.txt' is the original file name
and 'N' is a number
"Set
modification time" option in "Advanced" part of extraction
dialog is accessible also for ZIP archives. Previously it could be
changed only for RAR archives.
"Multithreading"
option added to "Benchmark and hardware test" command, so you
can compare performance of usual and multithreaded versions of RAR
compression algorithm
New
'ch' (change archive parameters) command line mode command. Its purpose
is to apply switches like -av, -tl and -cl to archive.
New
'cv' command line mode command. It provides the command line interface to
WinRAR "Convert archives" command. It is supported only by
winrar.exe, not by rar.exe.
New
command line -sl and -sm switches to set size limits of processing files
New
command line -fcu[file] switch allows to read archive comments from
Unicode files. It also modifies behavior of "cw" command,
setting the comment output format to Unicode.
7Z
added to list of formats stored without compression when using -ms switch
without a parameter.
Switch
-e[+] is now supported by most of command line operations including
extracting and deleting files. Previously it was supported by only
archiving command
It is allowed to use environment variables in archive
name in archiving dialog, in destination path in extraction dialog, in
folder names on "Compression" and "Paths" pages in
WinRAR settings. For example, you can enter '%temp%' in "Folder for
temporary files" field
