                 RAR - What's new in the latest version
 
 
+   Version 6.22
+
+   1. Bugs fixed:
+
+      a) extracting individual files from solid archives created by
+         RAR versions older than 2.0, could fail in RAR 6.20 and 6.21.
+         It didn't affect extracting the entire archive, which was performed
+         correctly.
+
+   
+   Version 6.21
+
+   1. Bugs fixed:
+
+      a) if unencrypted file was stored after encrypted in the same
+         RAR archive and both files had been unpacked in the same extraction
+         command, RAR 6.20 failed to unpack the unencrypted file.
+
+   
+   Version 6.20
+
+   1. Fixed the security vulnerability allowing to create unpacked files
+      outside of destination directory and to copy files resided outside of
+      destination directory into the destination directory.
+
+      We are thankful to Simon Scannell from Google for reporting it.
+
+   2. If extraction command involves only a part of files in RAR archive,
+      the additional archive analysis is performed when starting extraction.
+      It helps to properly unpack file references even if reference source
+      is not selected. It works for most of RAR archives except for volumes
+      on multiple removable media and archives containing a very large
+      number of references.
+
+      Also in some cases such analysis may help to optimize the amount
+      of processing data when extracting individual files from
+      semi-solid archives created with -s<N> and -se switches.
+
+   3. Switch -ams or just -am together with archive modification commands
+      can be used to save the archive name and creation time.
+      
+      These saved parameters are displayed in header of "l" and "v" commands
+      output and can be restored with -amr switch combined with "ch" command,
+      such as "rar ch -amr arc.rar". If -amr is specified, "ch" ignores
+      other archive modification switches.
+
+      Restoring involves renaming an archive to original name and setting
+      the saved time as the archive modification time.
+
+   4. Faster RAR5 compression of poorly compressible data on modern CPUs
+      with 8 or more execution threads. This applies to all methods
+      except "Fastest", which performance remains the same.
+
+   5. "Repair" command efficiency is improved for shuffled data blocks
+      in recovery record protected RAR5 archives.
+         
+   6. If file size has grown after archiving when creating non-solid
+      RAR volumes, such file is stored without compression regardless of
+      volume number, provided that file isn't split between volumes.
+      Previously it worked only for files in the first volume.
+
+   7. When archiving from stdin with -si switch, RAR displays the current
+      amount of read bytes as the progress indicator.
+   
+   8. If wrong password is specified when adding files to encrypted
+      solid RAR5 archive, a password will be requested again.
+      Previous versions cancelled archiving in this case.
+
+   
+   Version 6.12
+
+   1. Security vulnerability allowing to create unpacked files outside
+      of destination directory is fixed. This issue exists in Unix RAR only
+      and doesn't affect WinRAR and Android RAR.
+
+      We are thankful to Simon Scannell from SonarSource for reporting it.
+
+
+   Version 6.11
+
+   1. Switch -mes can be also used to suppress the password prompt
+      and abort when adding files to encrypted solid archive.
+
+   2. Additional measures to prevent extracting insecure links are
+      implemented.
+
+   
+   Version 6.10
+   
+   1. Switch -si can be used when extracting or testing to read archive
+      data from stdin, such as: 
+
+        cat docs.rar | rar x -si -o+ -pmypwd dummy docs/
+
+      Even though the archive name is ignored with this switch,
+      an arbitrary dummy archive name has to specified in the command line.
+            
+      Operations requiring backward seeks are unavailable in this mode.
+      It includes displaying archive comments, testing the recovery record,
+      utilizing the quick open information, processing multivolume archives.
+
+      Prompts requiring user interaction are not allowed.
+      Use -o+|-|r, -p<pwd> or -mes switches to suppress such prompts.
+   
+   2. New -ep4<path> switch excludes the path prefix when archiving
+      or extracting if this path is found in the beginning of archived name.
+      Path is compared with names already prepared to store in archive,
+      without drive letters and leading path separators. For example:
+
+        rar a -ep4texts/books archive /texts/books/technical
+
+      removes "text/books" from archived names, so they start
+      from 'technical'.
+   
+   3. New -mes switch skips encrypted files when extracting or testing.
+      It replaces former -p- switch.
+
+   4. New -op<path> switch sets the destination directory for 'x' and 'e'
+      extraction commands. Unlike <path_to_extract/> command line parameter,
+      this switch also accepts paths without trailing path separator
+      character.
+
+   5. If 'p' command is used to print a file to stdout, informational
+      messages are suppressed automatically to prevent them mixing
+      with file data.
+
+   6. "Generate archive name by mask" option and switch -ag treat only
+      first two 'M' characters after 'H' as minutes. Previously any
+      amount of such characters was considered as minutes.
+
+      It makes possible to place the time field before the date,
+      like -agHHMM-DDMMYY. Previous versions considered all 'M'
+      in this string as minutes.
+
+   7. Maximum allowed size of RAR5 recovery record is increased to 1000%
+      of protected data size. Maximum number of RAR5 recovery volumes
+      can be 10 times larger than protected RAR volumes.
+
+      Previous WinRAR versions are not able to use the recovery record
+      to repair broken archives if recovery record size exceeds 99%.
+      Similarly, previous versions cannot use recovery volumes
+      if their number is equal or larger than number of RAR volumes.
+
+   8. Warning is issued if entered password exceeds the allowed limit
+      of 127 characters and is truncated. Previously such passwords
+      had been truncated silently.
+
+   9. Command line -en switch is not supported anymore.
+      It created RAR4 archives without the end of archive record.
+
+      End of archive record permits to gracefully skip external data
+      like digital signatures.
+
+  10. Bugs fixed:
+
+      1) the total progress could be displayed incorrectly when using
+         -oi, -f, -u switches or appropriate GUI options.
+
+   
    Version 6.02
 
    1. Switch -idn hides archived names also in 'v' and 'l' commands.
