WinRAR is a powerful archive manager providing complete support for RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives. Its RAR format may only take second place for its level of compression – but it is consistently the fastest when it comes to both packing and unpacking files. While RAR files are not native to Windows or Mac, many other compression programs are still capable of unpacking it. WinRAR is available on Windows, OSX, and Linux, despite the name.
- WinRAR treats files with .txz extension as .tar.xz archives.
- If 7-Zip archive extraction is cancelled, WinRAR deletes the incompletely extracted file. Previous versions did not delete it. Bugs fixed:
- solid archive updating was aborted for archives contaning BLAKE2 checksums;
- folder tree panel did not allow to go to the archive root folder;
- "Reuse existing window" option did not work if first WinRAR copy was browsing an archive and second WinRAR copy attempted to open another archive in another folder;
- "Advanced compression parameters" dialog settings format in Registry was incompatible with WinRAR 5.01.
