WinRAR 5.30 Beta 3

sinu · Aug 27, 2015

WinRAR 5.30 Beta 3 changelog:

WinRAR treats .txz archive extension as .tar.xz and opens .txz contents in a single step.
If you drag a file from another application to WinRAR holding Shift button, a file will be deleted after archiving. Previous versions ignored Shift state here.
WinRAR ignores "Turn PC off when done" option in case of read and write errors if user pressed Cancel in repeat read or repeat write dialogs.

Bugs fixed:

archive comment is displayed also in empty ZIP archives. Previous versions did not display it if ZIP archive did not contain any files;
Explorer window containing a temporary folder with unpacked file could be opened when attempting to view an archived file in a corrupt ZIP archive. File entry in a corrupt ZIP could have a wrong "hard drive" icon.

WinRAR 5.30 Beta 5
WinRAR 5.30 Beta 5 changelog:

Information about the critical vulnerability in WinRAR self-extracting archives recently published in news is incorrect. Unfortunately mass media failed to recognize that what was described as WinRAR vulnerability is Windows OLE vulnerability patched in November 2014: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS14-064 - Critical
Even if unpatched, this Windows OLE vulnerability does not introduce new risk factors for WinRAR SFX archives.
Please read About a supposed WinRAR self-extracting (SFX) archives vulnerability: Part 2 for more details.
No patches for WinRAR are needed.

Bugs fixed:

If 'file' and 'file.exe' were present in the same folder and user double clicked on 'file', WinRAR could start 'file.exe' instead;
"Generate report" command could create a report in wrong folder, not that with selected files;
RAR could crash when unpacking .rar archives with corrupt file headers. Fixed now.
