Download WinRAR 5.11 Beta 1

RAR Labs has released the first beta release of version 5.11 of its RAR and WinRAR archiving tools. The popular compression tool is available for a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and OS X. The program handles 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. Version 5.10 includes support for extracting bzip2, lzma, and ppmd archives and 7z archives that are split into several parts, and better performance in packing and extracting encrypted archives. In version 5.11, the following changes have also been made:

New

• WinRAR can unpack TAR archives containing folders with pax extended headers. Previous versions failed to unpack them.
• “Keep broken files” extraction option is supported for 7-Zip archives.

Bug fixed:

• WinRAR 5.10 did not set “hidden”, “read-only” and “system” file attributes when unpacking ZIP archives;
• WinRAR 5.10 failed to update self-extracting RAR archives containing nested ZIP archives stored without compression;
• ZIP archive created with “Do not store paths” option included unnecessary empty name records for folders;
• Archived files could have 1 hour modification time error in Windows XP;
• Deleting a file in RAR5 solid archive containing files stored with -ver switch caused such files to lose version information;
• Black rectangles were displayed instead of toolbar buttons in 16- and 24-bit screen color modes and Windows custom text size larger than 100%.
