WinRAR 5.90 Beta 1 released

                WinRAR - What's new in the latest version

Version 5.90 beta 1
  
  1. RAR compression speed is improved for CPUs with 16 and more cores.

  2. "Fastest" method (-m1 command line equivalent) typically achieves
      a higher compression ratio for highly compressible data types
      when creating RAR5 archives.

  3. Maximum number of utilized threads is increased from 32 to 64.
      Command line -mt<threads> switch accepts values from 1 to 64.

  4. "Multithreading" parameter on "General" page of WinRAR settings
      is replaced with "Threads" input field, where you can specify
      the desired number of CPU threads. It can take values from 1 to
      maximum number of available logical CPU units.

  5. WinRAR displays packed and unpacked folder sizes when browsing
      archive contents.
  
  6. "Total folders" field is added to list of archive parameters
      displayed by WinRAR "Info" command. Same field is added to
      "Archive" page in archive properties in Windows Explorer.

  7. Window including a progress bar and "Cancel" button is displayed
      if reading archive contents takes noticeable time.
      It can be useful for archive formats with slower access to contents,
      such as large TAR based archives like .tar.gz and tar.bz2.

  8. Archiving and extraction progress windows, also as progress windows
      for some other commands, can be resized.
        
  9. "Repair" performance for RAR5 archives with recovery record
      and without data shifts is improved. It deteriorated in WinRAR 5.80
      and is now restored to original level.

  10. Password prompt is not issued when performing recovery record based
      repair for RAR5 archives with encrypted file names.
      This command can be performed without providing a password.

  11. If folder for converted archives in "Convert archives" command
      does not exist, WinRAR attempts to create it. Previous versions
      failed to create converted archives in non-existent destination folder.

  12. Bugs fixed:

      a) "Repair" command could erroneously display "Recovery record is
        corrupt" message when processing an archive with valid recovery
        record. This message did not prevent further repair operation;

      b) if quick open information option was set to "Do not add" in default
        compression profile and this profile was loaded by some command
        or dialog, WinRAR ignored quick open information when browsing
        contents of RAR archives. For example, it happened after opening
        archiving or password dialogs;

      c) Ctrl+C "Copy" shortcut key did not work in archive comment window;

      d) if "Put each file to separate archive" and "Archives in subfolders"
        options were set, WinRAR ignored the destination path specified
        in archive name field.

        ZIP tool could be corrupted when modified by WinRAR.

Version 5.91 beta 1

  1. Dialogs are centered inside of WinRAR window similarly to WinRAR 5.80
      and not inside of entire screen as in WinRAR 5.90.

  2. When editing an archived file with external software, extra measures
      are taken to reduce the probability of interfering with editor
      and opening its temporary files while editor still may need them.
 
  3. "Version to extract" field in archive properties opened from
      Windows Explorer context menu provides the additional information
      about ZIP compression and encryption algorithms, such as LZMA or AES.
      This information was already available in WinRAR "Info" command,
      but missed in archive information accessible from Windows Explorer.

  4. "MS DOS" and "Unix" host OS types are recognized and included
      for LZH archives in "Info" command. Previously the host OS field
      was always "Unknown" for LZH archive format.

  5. Files created by external editor and matching "Settings/Viewer/
      Ignore modifications for" masks are never added to archive.
      Previously WinRAR still added them if some file not matching
      these masks was also created or modified.
 
  6. Bugs fixed:

      a) empty file names were displayed inside of some Unix LZH archives;

      b) WinRAR could not process more than 999 7z volumes in a single set;
     
      c) if user cancelled the user account control prompt after changing
        "Integrate WinRAR into shell" option, a new state of this option
        was displayed in "Settings" dialog, even though the actual state
        of shell integration was not modified;

      d) the main window size could be too small on the first run after
        clean install with no previous WinRAR version present;

      e) WinRAR could stop responding after editing an archived file
        with external software in Windows 10 version 2004.
