 RAR - What's new in the latest version
 
 
+ Version 6.00
+
+ 1. "Ignore" and "Ignore All" options are added to read error prompt.
+ "Ignore" allows to continue processing with already read file part
+ only and "Ignore All" does it for all future read errors.
+
+ For example, if you archive a file, which portion is locked by another
+ process, and if "Ignore" is selected in read error prompt,
+ only a part of file preceding the unreadable region will be saved
+ into archive.
+
+ It can help to avoid interrupting lengthy archiving operations,
+ though be aware that files archived with "Ignore" are incomplete.
+ 
+ If switch -y is specified, "Ignore" is applied to all files by default.
+
+ Previosuly available "Retry" and "Quit" options are still present
+ in read error prompt as well.
+
+ 2. Exit code 12 is returned in case of read errors. This code is returned
+ for all options in the read error prompt, including a newly introduced
+ "Ignore" option.
+
+ Previously more common fatal error code 2 was returned for read errors.
+
+ 3. New -ad2 switch places extracted files directly to archive's own folder.
+ Unlike -ad1, it does not create a separate subfolder for each unpacked
+ archive.
+
+ 4. When unpacking a part of files from solid volume set, RAR attempts to
+ skip volumes in the beginning and start extraction from volume closest
+ to specified file and with reset solid statistics.
+
+ By default RAR resets the solid statistics in the beginning
+ of large enough solid volumes where possible. For such volumes
+ extracting a part of files from the middle of volume set can be
+ faster now.
+
+ It does not affect performance when all archived files are unpacked.
+
+ 5. Previously RAR automatically resorted to extracting from first volume,
+ when user started extraction from non-first volume and first volume
+ was available. Now RAR does so only if all volumes between first
+ and specified are also available.
+
+ 6. Switch -idn hides archived names output in archiving, extraction
+ and some other commands. Other messages and total percentage
+ are not affected.
+
+ You can use this switch to reduce visual clutter and console output
+ overhead when archiving or extracting a lot of small files.
+
+ Minor visual artifacts, such as percentage indicator overwriting
+ few last characters of error messages, are possible with -idn.
+
+ 7. Switch -mci is removed. Optimized compression of Itanium executables
+ is not supported anymore. RAR still can decompress already existing
+ archives utilizing Itanium executable compression.

-
- 
- Version 4.20
-
- 1. Changes in RAR compression:
-
- a) Multithreaded RAR compression is enabled by default.
- You can disable it with -mt1 switch.
-
- Comparing to RAR 4.11, some speed gain is possible
- in single processor mode as well.
-
- Speed gain depends on data type and average file size.
- Several cores are utilized more efficiently when compressing
- large files.
-
- b) we had to increase memory requirements to achieve higher
- compression speed. General RAR compression algorithm allocates
- about 120 MB comparing to 40 MB in RAR 4.11;
-
- c) RAR text compression algorithm cannot utilize several CPU cores
- efficiently, so its performance in multiprocessor environment
- is much lower than for general algorithm. Also its decompression
- speed is much lower than in general algorithm regardless of
- CPU number. So we decided to disable the text algorithm by default.
-
- If you need maximum possible compression ratio for plain text data
- regardless of speed, you can enable the text compression
- with -mct switch.
-
- 2. RAR general decompression algorithm speed is slightly improved,
- though not to same extent as RAR compression. RAR decompression
- is not able to use several processor cores, so its performance
- does not depend on a number of cores.
-
-
- Version 4.11
-
- 1. Bugs fixed:
-
- a) if -x*\somedir\* exclusion mask was specified when archiving 
- and if name of current directory contained 'somedir', RAR could
- exclude all files and stop creating an archive.
-
-
- Version 4.10
-
- 1. Modifications of switch -ag behavior:
-
- a) -ag can be used with all RAR commands, not just with archiving only;
-
- b) 'N' format character behavior differs in archiving and non-archiving
- operations. When archiving, it is incremented until the first unused
- name is found. In non-archiving operations like extracting it selects
- the existing archive preceding the first unused name;
-
- c) 'I' format character allows to specify minutes regardless of presence
- and position of 'H' (hours) in format string. It can be used
- instead of 'M' (minutes), when you wish to place minutes before
- hours or do not need hours at all.
-
- 2. New -log[fmt][=name] switch allows to write archive and file names
- to log file in archiving, extracting, deleting and listing commands.
- This switch is especially useful, when you need to further process
- an archive created with -ag or -v switches, because -log provides
- the archive name generated by RAR.
- 
- 3. New -@[+] switch allows to process all parameters starting from
- '@' character either as file names (-@) or as file lists (-@+).
-
- 4. Volume size in -v<size> switch can be specified as a decimal fraction.
- Dot (.) is used as the decimal mark. For example, -v1.5g means
- 1.5 gigabytes.
-
- 
- Version 4.01
-
- 1. Bugs fixed:
-
- a) "Repair" command failed to properly reconstruct structure
- of RAR archives, which contained at least one file with packed
- size exceeding 4 GB.
-
- This bug did not affect the recovery record based repair.
- It happened only if recovery record was not found and RAR
- performed reconstruction of archive structure;
-
- b) RAR could crash when creating a new archive with -agNNNN switch
- if archive number in generated name was very large,
- like a thousand or more.
-
-
- 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.
