1. "Settings/General" dialog page is split to "Settings/Interface"
and "Settings/System" pages. Dialog navigation uses vertical tabs
instead of horizontal.
2. WinRAR sets the dark interface mode if "Dark mode" option
in "Settings/Interface" is on. This option can enable or disable
the dark mode unconditionally or use Windows dark mode settings.
3. "Large memory pages" option in "Settings/System" dialog and -mlp
command line switch enable using 2 MB memory pages instead of
default 4 KB, when allocating large memory areas in RAR archive
format compression and extraction routines.
It allows to improve archiving and, in some cases, extraction speed.
Typically the performance gain is more significant for bigger
compression dictionaries and slower compression methods.
This feature requires "Lock pages in memory" privilege
and if it is missing, WinRAR proposes to assign it to the current
user account, making it available for other software too.
Windows restart is necessary to activate the newly assigned privilege.
4. "Zone value only" option in "Settings/Security" dialog controls
if archive Mark of the Web propagation includes only the security zone
value or all available fields.
While additional fields, such as a download location or IP address,
might help to identify a file source, they can be a privacy concern
if file is shared with other persons.
5. Switch -om[-|1][=list] controls Mark of the Web propagation
in WinRAR and console RAR command line mode.
6. Windows Vista and 32-bit Windows are not supported anymore.
WinRAR and WinRAR self-extracting modules require Windows 7 x64
or later.
7. "Auto", "Always on" and "Disable" choices are now available
for "Delta compression" and "x86 executable compression" options
in "Advanced compression parameters" dialog.
To improve the compression speed, "Auto" applies these options
depending on the compression method, such as disabling them
for "Fastest" and "Fast" methods. Use "Always on" to enable them
for all methods.
8. Name of environment variable to store the default set of RAR switches
is changed from "RAR" to "RARINISWITCHES". It is rather typical
for batch scripts to use "RAR" environment variable name to store
RAR executable pathname, which led to the name conflict previously.
9. "Completion message title" and "Completion message text" options
on "Text" page of "Advanced SFX options" dialog allow to define
a custom message displayed on the successful completion of SFX archive
extraction.
This message can also be added with "TextDone" script command.
SFX logo and icon options are moved to the new "Logo and icon" page
of "Advanced SFX options" dialog. Dialog navigation uses vertical tabs
instead of horizontal.
10. Windows 11 context menu:
a) compression profiles in the new context menu are placed above
extraction commands, similarly to the legacy context menu;
b) separator lines are inserted between archive open, extraction
and archiving command groups.
11. When extracting a file with NTFS "Compressed" attribute,
this attribute is assigned in the beginning of file extraction.
Typically it reduces the extraction time compared to assigning it
after writing the file data.
12. When adding files to existing RAR archive, folders previously stored
in such archive are moved to a position after newly added files.
So folder timestamps are set after extracting all files and are not
modified when creating files inside of these folders.
13. Temporary file isn't created anymore for "rar ch -tl" command
if no archive modification switches like -rr or -z have been specified.
Modification time of newest archived file is set directly to original
archive file, without copying the archive data. It reduces disk write
and processing time.
14. If archive is truncated at recovery record or quick open information
service blocks, the additional message with truncated block type
is displayed after the standard "Unexpected end of archive".
15. Bugs fixed:
a) even though the long range search isn't used with -m1 "fastest"
compression method, switches -m1 -mcl+ or -m1 -mcl with 256MB
or larger compression dictionary still allocated memory required
for long range search algorithm;
b) if "Remove redundant folders from extraction path" option was on
when extracting a file from archive subfolder, clicking on ".."
in the file list afterwards displayed the folder with the archive
file instead of parent folder inside of archive;
c) if application was started from archive and created multiple files
with monotonically growing date, WinRAR could issue archive update
prompts for every created file instead of a single prompt
