Software Update: WinRAR 5.80 Beta 3

RAR Labs has released the third beta release of version 5.80 of its RAR and WinRAR archiving tools. This popular compression tool is available for a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. The program handles the most common formats – including rar, zip, cab, arj, lzh, tar, gz, uue, bz2, jar, iso, 7z and z – has a skinnable interface, and support for Zip64 and multivolume cab -files. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

what’s new

• “Export settings to file” command in “Options” menu saves both HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\WinRAR and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WinRAR Registry data to Settings.reg, so user defined variables in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WinRAR\Policy are also preserved. Previously it exported only HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\WinRAR data.

Bug fixed:

• Previous beta versions failed to unpack ZIP archives with mismatched order of local file records and central directory entries;
• If we opened archive properties in Windows Explorer and selected some text on “Comment” page, selection was lost when moving the mouse cursor outside of properties dialog.
