What’s New in version 5.71:
Mac Os Archive
- “Convert archives” command:
- improved performance when processing a lot of small archives in Windows 10.
- fixed memory leaks which could lead to excessive memory use when converting to ZIP format.
- Corrupt ZIP archive processing:
- “Repair” command replaces packed and unpacked file sizes stored in the local file header with sizes from the central directory if local header sizes look invalid;
- file extraction is stopped at unpacked size stored in ZIP headers even if available packed data allow further extraction. It is done to prevent unexpected hard drive space usage.
- Ctrl+C allows aborting RAR “l” command quickly. In previous versions, it could take several seconds until the list command stopped.
Bugs fixed in version 5.71:
- WinRAR could crash when attempting to display some types of archive comments in GUI shell, resulting in a denial of service;
- if “Save archive name” and “Add to context menu” options were set in compression profile parameters and profile was invoked from the Explorer context menu, WinRAR proposed an automatically generated archive name instead of name saved in the profile.
- WinRAR displayed an unneeded pair of round brackets in “Archive” column of “Diagnostic messages” window for system error messages;
- “Extract to folder” Windows Explorer context menu command could fail to unpack ZIP archives if their names included a numeric part followed by .zip extension, arbitrary data was present before the first file record and “Remove redundant folders from extraction path” WinRAR option was switched on;
- in “RAR x -xarcname” command, parent folders of files matching the specified mask also were excluded from extracting;
- “Find” command returned the current folder own name additionally to its contents for “Current folder” search area if folder name matched “File names to find” mask;
- if “Find in files” and “Find in archives” are both enabled, the “Find” command did not match an archive name itself against “File names to find” mask after searching inside of the archive. So it did not display archive names for masks like *.rar and applied this mask only to files inside of archives;
- when running an executable directly from the archive, WinRAR 5.70 did not set a temporary folder with unpacked files as current. So executables attempting to access other archived files in current folder could fail to work;
- WinRAR could be inaccessible for few seconds after closing an archived file opened in the internal viewer in Windows 10;
- dragging a file to a subfolder of ZIP archive with “Store full paths” option enabled produced invalid pathnames consisting of repeated subfolder name. The same invalid pathnames were produced if adding files to ZIP archive with -ap -ep2 switches.
