WinRAR 3.51

What's new in the latest versionn 3.51

   1. Bugs fixed:

      a) fixed two vulnerabilities, which could be exploited with
         specially crafted ACE and UUE/XXE archives;

      b) previous version did not delete some of temporary files;c) WinRAR could crash when processing very long (more than
         1024 characters) archive name parameter in the command line.


   Version 3.50

   1. Now it is possible to change WinRAR's look by installing
      interface themes. Theme files are available on
      http://www.rarlab.com/themes.htm

      Theme files are RAR archives, just open them in WinRAR to install.
      You can manage installed themes using "Options/Themes" menu.

   2. WinRAR supports decompression of ZIP archives created using
      Zip64 format extension. Zip64 was introduced to remove
      original ZIP format limitations on archived file size.

   3. Added support of multivolume (multipart) CAB archives.

   4. New options in "Advanced" part of extraction dialog:

      a) "Delete archive" options allow to delete extracted archives;

      b) "Check authenticity information" option controls processing
         of authenticity information in RAR archives.

   5. "Wait if other WinRAR copies are active" option
      in "Advanced" parts of archiving and extraction dialogs.

      If enabled, it waits while other WinRAR copies are creating,
      modifying or unpacking an archive and starts the operation
      only when other WinRAR tasks are complete. If you are going
      to perform several archiving or decompressing tasks, such queued
      execution can help to reduce the amount of disk seeks and improve
      overall performance.

   6. WinRAR is able to integrate to Windows context menus also
      on Windows x64 systems.

   7. SFX modules:

      a) SFX modules are not compressed by UPX anymore, so they are
         larger now. UPX compression caused numerous false alerts
         by antivirus software. If you wish to use compressed modules,
         you can get UPX from http://upx.sourceforge.net and compress
         *.sfx files in WinRAR folder;

      b) The default SFX logo can be replaced by a custom bitmap file.
         You can do it either with "Load SFX logo from the file" option
         in "Text and icon" part of "Advanced SFX options" dialog
         or using -iimg
command line switch. Note that -iimg is not
         supported by console RAR, only GUI WinRAR recognizes it.
         This option is not supported in Windows 95, 98 and Me.
         Also you cannot use it if you compressed SFX modules by UPX.

      c) It is possible to specify user defined SFX icons larger than
         32x32 and with any color depth. Like the previous item,
         this improvement is valid only if SFX modules are not compressed
         by UPX and your operating system is not Windows 9x/Me;

      d) DOS.SFX module moved to RAR/DOS32 distributive. If you need
         to create DOS SFX archives using WinRAR, just copy DOS.SFX
         to WinRAR folder.
