[QUOTE="silversurfer, post: 869954, member: 26718"] by [URL='https://www.ghacks.net/author/martin/']Martin Brinkmann[/URL] on March 31, 2020 in [URL='https://www.ghacks.net/category/software/']Software[/URL] RARLAB, the developer of WinRAR and the RAR compression format, has released WinRAR 5.90 to the public.

Interested users may check out the [URL='https://www.rarlab.com/rarnew.htm']release notes[/URL] for the new version directly. Since it is quite a long list, here is a summary of the most important changes in WinRAR 5.90: [LIST] [*]RAR compression speed improved on systems with processors with 16 and more cores. [*]The maximum number of threads that WinRAR uses has been increased from 32 to 64- The command line switch -mt accepts values between 1 and 64 to reflect the change. [*]The new "threads" input field in the settings replaces the multithreading parameter. It accepts values between 1 and the number of cores of the CPU. [*]When browsing archived contents, packed and unpacked sizes are now displayed. [*]RAR5 archive repair performance has improved. [*]Progress bar and cancel button are displayed if the reading of archives takes noticeable time. [*]Some windows, archiving and extraction progress windows may be resized now. [/LIST] Several bugs are fixed in the new version next to that including a fix for repair displaying "Recovery record is corrupt" when in fact it was not. While the message did not impact a successful repair operation, it did irritate users. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ghacks.net/2020/03/31/winrar-5-90-final-is-out/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
