Software update: WinRAR 6.22 beta 1

RAR Labs has released the first beta release of version 6.22 of its archivers RAR and WinRAR. This popular compression tool is available for various 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 improvements have been made in this release:

Bugs fixed:

• Extracting individual files from solid archives created by RAR versions older than 2.0, could fail in WinRAR 6.20 and 6.21. It didn’t affect extracting the entire archive, which was performed correctly;
• Files in Unix ARJ archives could be erroneously displayed as folders in WinRAR file list;
• “Display files in Explorer” extraction option was ignored if “When done: Close WinRAR” option was also set and archive was opened in WinRAR before extracting;
• File size value in the internal viewer status bar didn’t include the byte order mask field, displaying a smaller than actual size for Unicode files.
