Software Update: WinRAR 5.00 Beta 7

RAR Labs has released the seventh beta release of version 5.00 of its RAR and WinRAR archiving tools. The popular compression tool is available for a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and OS X. The program handles most common formats – including rar, zip, cab, arj, lzh, tar, gz, ace, uue, bz2, jar, iso, 7z and z – has a customizable interface, and support for Zip64 and multivolume cab files. The following bugs are fixed in this beta release:

Version 5.00 beta 71. Bug fixed:

a) when processing a command like:

WinRAR.exe a -sfxmymodule.sfx arcname.exe

WinRAR ignored the optional parameter of -sfx switch and used
default.sfx module. Console RAR.exe did not have this bug;

b) WinRAR did not create the folder structure necessary to store
unpacked hard links. So if folder containing a hard link
did not exist yet, hard link extraction failed;

c) “rn” command displayed wrong file names for processed files.
Files were renamed properly, only the screen output was incorrect;

d) when extracting ACE archive, WinRAR could create empty folders
contained in such archive in a wrong destination folder.
