1. WinRAR 3.90 beta 2 Released!
win.rar GmbH and rarlab.com are proud to announce the second beta version of the new WinRAR 3.90. This is yet another step ahead for the most complete archiving software on the market.
** Highlights of the 3.90 beta2 release:
1. Delay between right clicking selected files in Windows Explorer and displaying the context menu is reduced. This delay can be noticeable, when you right click several thousands of files.
2. Bugs fixed:
a) dragging a file over an existing archive in Windows Explorer did not work for 64 bit WinRAR;
b) 64 bit beta 1 shell extension crashed if user right clicked "Startup" folder in Start Menu and selected "Open" or "Explore" commands;
c) "Scan archive for viruses" command in 64 bit beta 1 could fail to autodetect some of 32 bit antiviruses detected by 32 bit version;
d) beta 1 hung when the entire folder specified as a mask was excluded: 'rar a -xfolder arc folder';
e) sometimes beta 1 could hang when creating a new RAR archive if archive comment or one of advanced NTFS options was specified;
f) ZIP encryption code was updated to include recent InfoZip fixes;
g) 64 bit version did not store the toolbar layout.

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.
