RAR Archiver 5.90

The release of the proprietary RAR archiver version 5.90 has taken place. Change log for the console version:

1. Compression speed of RAR has been increased when using processors with 16 or more cores.
2. When creating RAR5 archives, the 'Fastest' compression method generally provides more compact packaging for well-compressible data.
   (the equivalent in the command line is the -m1 switch)
3. The maximum number of used threads has been increased from 32 to 64.
   For the -mt switch in the command line, values can be specified from 1 to 64.
4. The recovery of corrupted RAR5 archives that contain recovery information and do not have data offsets has been accelerated.
   The speed was reduced in RAR version 5.80 and is now restored to its original level.
5. No password is required when repairing corrupted RAR5 archives with encrypted filenames that contain recovery information.
   Now the recovery command can be executed without specifying a password.
6. Error corrections:
   • The 'Repair' command could erroneously output a message about the corruption of recovery data when processing an archive with correct data ('Recovery record is corrupt').
     This message did not prevent further recovery.

The UnRAR extractor has also been updated to version open-source extractor to version 5.9.2.
