Download WinRAR 4.01

RAR Labs has released version 4.01 of its WinRAR archiving program. The popular compression tool is available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD. The program can handle most common formats, including rar, zip, cab, arj, lzh, tar, gz, ace, uue, bz2, jar, iso, 7z and z, has a skinnable interface, and support for zip64 and multivolume -cab files. In version 4.00, performance improvements can be seen when extracting archives, the program is now also able to open blu-ray iso files and progress can be seen on the Windows 7 taskbar. Furthermore, support for older Windows versions has been dropped; WinRAR now requires at least Windows 2000. Version 4.01 is also able to display file sizes in tar archives and the changelog further shows several bug fixes.

• Added support for file sizes stored in binary format in TAR archives. Some TAR archives use the binary size format instead of octal for files larger than 8 GB.

Bug fixed:

• “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 WinRAR performed reconstruction of archive structure;
• Even if “Do not extract paths” option in “Advanced” part of extraction dialog was set as the default, WinRAR still unpacked file paths if called from Explorer context menu;
• After entering a wrong password for encrypted ZIP archive, sometimes WinRAR ignored subsequent attempts to enter a valid password;
• “Wizard” command did not allow to create self-extracting and multivolume archives, when compressing a single folder or a file without extension;
• “Import settings from file” command did not restore multiline comments in WinRAR compression profiles;
• When converting RAR volumes having name1.name2.part#.rar name format, “Convert archives” command erroneously removed “.name2” name part. So resulting archive had name1.rar file name instead of expected name1.name2.rar;
• RAR could crash when creating a new archive with -agNNN switch if archive number in generated name was 110 or larger;
• WinRAR failed to display non-English file names in 7-Zip archives properly if they used a non-default code page. It was the display only problem, such names were unpacked correctly.
