1. Third beta release of WinRAR 3.30!
RARLAB and win.rar GmbH have released the third beta of WinRAR 3.30.
Changes in WinRAR 3.30 beta 3:
1. Volume size autodetecting did not work properly with self-extracting volumes.
2. Combintion of -v -st switches could produce corrupt volumes. Now RAR automatically turns off -v in such sitution.
3. "Rename" command did not work in the flat view mode for files in archive subfolders.
4. Command line -f and -u switches could fail to work when extracting files.

2. What is a beta version?
A beta version, as opposed to a final version, is software that is undergoing its final stages in testing. We release beta versions to our customers so that the final set of bugs can be found and eliminated from WinRAR.
