                 RAR - What's new in the latest version
 
 
+   Version 5.90
+   
+   1. RAR compression speed is improved for CPUs with 16 and more cores.
+
+   2. "Fastest" method (-m1 command line equivalent) typically achieves
+      a higher compression ratio for highly compressible data types
+      when creating RAR5 archives.
+
+   3. Maximum number of utilized threads is increased from 32 to 64.
+      Command line -mt<threads> switch accepts values from 1 to 64.
+         
+   4. "Repair" performance for RAR5 archives with recovery record
+      and without data shifts is improved. It deteriorated in RAR 5.80
+      and is now restored to original level.
+
+   5. Password prompt is not issued when performing recovery record based
+      repair for RAR5 archives with encrypted file names.
+      This command can be performed without providing a password.
+
+   6. Bugs fixed:
+
+      a) "Repair" command could erroneously display "Recovery record is
+         corrupt" message when processing an archive with valid recovery
+         record. This message did not prevent further repair operation.
+
+   
+   Version 5.80
+   
+   1. It is allowed to combine several modifiers in the same -ts switch.
+      For example, we can use -tsca instead -tsc -tsa.
+
+   2. Command line -agf<default_format> switch specifies the default format
+      string for -ag switch. It has a practical value only if placed to
+      rar.ini configuration file or to RAR environment variable.
+      For example, if we set RAR environment variable to -agfYYYY-MMM-DD,
+      we can use -ag without a parameter with YYYY-MMM-DD format string
+      assumed.
+
+   3. Switches -ed and -e+d can be used in archive processing commands
+      for any combination of RAR and archive operating systems.
+      In older versions RAR for Windows could not use them for Unix RAR
+      archives also as RAR for Unix for Windows RAR archives.
+
+   4. Similarly to RAR5 volumes, recovery volumes in RAR4 format use
+      the same width of volume number field as corresponding RAR volumes.
+      While previously RAR could create arc.part01.rar and arc.part1.rev
+      in RAR4 format, now both types of volumes will use "part01".
+
+   5. "Find string in archives" "i" command:
+
+      a) if "t" modifer is used, additionally to already supported
+         ANSI, OEM and UTF-16 encodings RAR will search the specified string
+         in UTF-8 files as well;
+      
+      b) better performance, especially for case insensitive search;
+
+      c) hexadecimal search output includes both text and hexadecimal
+         representation of found matches.
+
+   6. Bugs fixed:
+
+      a) previous RAR version failed to unpack folder records
+         in archives created by RAR 1.50.
