Software Update: WinRAR 5.10 Beta 2

RAR Labs has released the second beta release of version 5.10 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 skinnable interface and support for Zip64 and multivolume cab files. Version 5.10 includes support for extracting bzip2, lzma, and ppmd archives and 7z archives that are split into several parts, as well as better performance in packing and extracting encrypted archives. In beta two, the following issues have been fixed:

Bug fixed:

• When processing nested archives, WinRAR could attempt to open inner archive as self-extracting instead of opening an outer archive. It happened if inner archive was stored without compression and outer archive name had non-standard extension;
• Unix RAR could not decompress hard links stored by WinRAR if link source name included path separator characters.
