1. WinRAR 3.70 beta 1 Released!
win.rar GmbH and rarlab.com are proud to announce the first beta version of the
new WinRAR 3.70. WinRAR 3.70 is the new Vista compatible version of
the famous WinRAR compression software. WinRAR's extensive Vista
compatibility will enable Windows users to "go Vista", using a WinRAR
version that is as easy and stable to use as before.
Of course, as always, the upgrade to 3.70 is absolutely free for all registered
users!
** Highlights of the 3.70 (beta 1) release:
1. Numerous Windows Vista compatibility changes:
a) help format changed from old HLP to newer HTML based CHM;
b) GUI self-extracting modules attempt to request for
administrator permissions if they cannot create destination
folder under current user account;
c) Log file rar.log and WinRAR theme files are stored
in %APPDATA%\WinRAR folder instead of WinRAR program files folder.
Exported settings file settings.reg is also stored
in %APPDATA%\WinRAR folder by default, but it is possible to
select another folder in "Save WinRAR settings" and "Load WinRAR
settings" dialogs.
WinRAR searches for registration key and settings.reg
both in its program files folder and in %APPDATA%\WinRAR;
d) Vista compatibility changes in WinRAR shell integration.
2. Added support for ISO 13346 (UDF) file format. This format
is frequently used in ISO images of DVD disks.
3. Added Unicode support for ISO 9660 files, so WinRAR should
handle non-English file names in .iso files better.
These are just some of the features that were added or improved. More information
on all the 15 improved items can be found here http://www.win-rar.com/whatsnew.html.
