WinRAR - What's new in the latest version


   Version 5.70 beta 2

   1. "Find" command "Disks and folders" drop down list has been renamed
      to "Search area". Additionally to already existing choices,
      it includes a new "Selected items" option restricting search
      to files and folders selected in WinRAR file list.

   2. "Find" command displays the number of found items in status bar.

   3. Switches -ta, -tb, -tn, -to now allow any number of modifiers
      in the same switch to set the same date for all specified times.
      For example, -tamc20190215 will process files modified and created
      after 2019-02-15. 
      
      New 'o' modifier permits to switch from AND to OR logic,
      so -tamco20190215 includes files modified or created after 2019-02-15.
      It is also allowed to specify several time filtering switches
      with different dates in the same command line, like:
      -taco20190201 -tbmo20190210

      Switches -ta and -tn also include files matching the specified date
      exactly. Switches -tb and -to exclude such files.

   4. "Diagnostic messages" window displays archive names in a separate
      column to provide the better message visibility for lengthy
      archive names.
   
   5. Switch -isnd[-] in command line WinRAR mode allows to override
      "Enable sound" option in WinRAR settings. Use -isnd to turn sound
      notifications on and -isnd- to turn them off.

   6. Bugs fixed:

      a) disabling "Packed" file list column also affected "Type" column
         inside of archives leaving it blank;

      b) WinRAR issued "The specified password is incorrect" message
         infinitely when extracting an encrypted file from RAR archive
         without name encryption if a wrong global password was set;

      c) "File list/Files/Exact sizes" option in WinRAR settings
         did not work inside of archives.
