The release of the proprietary RAR archiver version 7.10 has taken place.
List of changes in the console version:
- 32-bit versions of Linux and FreeBSD for x86 are no longer supported.
- The name of the environment variable storing the default set of RAR keys has been changed from RAR to RARINISWITCHES. It is quite common for batch files to use the environment variable name RAR to store the path to the RAR executable, which previously led to a naming conflict.
- When adding files to an existing RAR archive, directories previously stored in such an archive are moved to a place after the newly added files. Thus, the timestamps of directories are set after all files are extracted and do not change when files are created inside these directories.
- A temporary file is no longer created by the rar ch -tl command unless archive modification switches such as -rr or -z are specified. The modification time of the newest archive file is set directly by the original archive file, without copying the archive data. This speeds up disk writing and data processing.
- If the archive is truncated on blocks with data for recovery or quick opening of the archive, then after the standard “Unexpected end of archive” an additional message about the type of the truncated block is displayed.
- Bugs fixed:
- If you are creating an existing partially continuous RAR archive created with the -se or -s switches , new files were added, they may have been corrupted. This problem does not affect regular solid archives created with -s, nor does it affect non-solid archives.
- Although long-range data seeking is not used with the -m1 (Speedy) compression method, the -m1 -mcl+ or -m1 -mcl switches with a compression dictionary of 256 MB or larger still allocated the memory needed for the long-range data seeking algorithm.
Also updated to version 7.1.4 open source unpacker UnRAR.
