                 RAR - What's new in the latest version
 
 
+   Version 4.00
+
+   1. RAR decompression speed is improved. Depending on data type,
+      decompression can be up to 30% faster than in previous versions.
+
+      Both the general RAR algorithm and most of special RAR multimedia
+      methods benefit from this improvement. The only module of RAR
+      algorithm, which is not affected, is "Text compression" method.
+   
+   2. Changes in -x<file> switch syntax. Now you can specify a wildcard
+      exclusion mask for folders. Such mask must have the trailing '\'
+      character, like -x*tmp*\ or -x*\temp\
+
+   3. Recovery volume processing involves less disk seek operations
+      resulting in higher performance.
+
+   4. New error code 10 ("no files") is added to list of error codes.
+      This new code can be returned by archive, extract, delete
+      and repair commands. It means that RAR did not find any files
+      matched the specified file or archive mask.
