WinRAR - What's new in the latest version


   Version 5.30 beta 4

   1. It is allowed to specify environment variables in path to external
      viewer in WinRAR "Settings/Viewer" dialog.

   2. Folder wildcards behavior is changed, so command like:

      rar a backup c:\backup\2015*\*

      will search for '2015*' folders only in c:\backup. Add -r switch
      if you wish to search also in all c:\backup subfolders.

   3. If wrong password is specified when extracting an encrypted file
      in RAR5 archive, WinRAR will not create folders contained in file path.
      Previous versions created file path folders even if file extraction
      failed because of wrong password.

      This change does not affect RAR 4.x format, which does not allow
      to verify password validity before starting file extraction.

   4. Bugs fixed:

      a) "Delete files after archiving" option of default compression
         profile was ignored in drag&drop operations in previous beta.
