WinRAR - What's new in the latest version


   Version 5.71 beta 2
   
   1. Master password processing:

      a) if password stored in compression profile is protected
         with master password and user entered a wrong master password
         after choosing a profile, "the specified password is incorrect"
         message is displayed before repeating request;

      b) if -cp<profile_name> switch is used, profile stores a password
         protected with master password and user cancels the master
         password prompt, the entire archiving command is cancelled.
         Previous versions continued archiving without a password.

   2. When repairing archives in command line, it is allowed to specify
      a name of existing destination folder also without trailing path
      separator. Previously "r" command accepted only "destfolder\" format.

      Path separator is still required if destination folder does not exist.

   3. Bugs fixed:

      a) WinRAR could crash when attempting to display some types of archive
         comments in GUI shell, resulting in a denial of service;

      b) current archive name was not updated in hint message associated
         with tray icon when repairing several archives in background.
