1. WinRAR 3.30 FINAL Released!

win.rar GmbH and rarlab.com are proud to announce the final version of the new WinRAR 3.30.

The new WinRAR 3.30 now offers even more new innovative features!
Of course, as always, the upgrade to 3.30 is absolutely free to all registered users!


** Highlights of the 3.30 release:

* Scan archives for viruses!

The new "Scan archive for viruses" command has been added.
It unpacks an archive to a temporary folder and then checks its
contents with the antivirus software that is installed on a user's computer.

* "Enhanced deflate" can now be decompressed by WinRAR!

WinRAR now supports decompression of ZIP archives that were created using the "Enhanced deflate" method.

* New "Generate Report" Command!

The new "Generate report" command creates a report containing a list of usual or archived files. You have the option to include file size, date and CRC to report, choose the sort order, save report to file, and send it to a printer or copy it to the clipboard.

* Split archiving improved!

WinRAR now supports creating volumes (multi-split archives) of different sizes. The "Next volume" dialog allows you to modify not only a name, but also the size of the next volume, so you may create volumes of different sizes. This dialog is displayed if you create volumes on removable disks or if you set the "Pause after each volume" option in the "Advanced" part of the archiving dialog.


Of course the command line versions of RAR and Pocket RAR were also improved and are now available as version 3.30.

Just when you thought WinRAR couldn't get any better, we added 29 new improved items. More information on all these 29 improved items can be found here: http://www.win-rar.com/whatsnew.html
