WinRAR 5.70 Review

[jasonX]

WinRAR  version 5.71 Final has been released (April 29, 2019)

WinRAR 5.71 x86

WinRAR 5.71 x64

What's new in the latest version

 
   1. "Convert archives" command:

      a) improved performance when processing a lot of small archives
         in Windows 10;

      b) fixed memory leaks which could lead to excessive memory use
         when converting to ZIP format.

   2. Corrupt ZIP archive processing:

      a) "Repair" command replaces packed and unpacked file sizes stored
         in local file header with sizes from central directory
         if local header sizes look invalid;

      b) file extraction is stopped at unpacked size stored in ZIP headers
         even if available packed data allows further extraction.
         It is done to prevent unexpected hard drive space usage.

   3. Ctrl+C allows to abort RAR "l" command quickly. In previous versions
      it could take several seconds until list command stopped.
