WinRAR 3.90 Beta 1

[harpua]

Well I feel stupid for not figuring this out faster, but I finally realized what the problem was and was able to successfully get the original SeVen / FFF keygen to work for the x64 version. Apparently the problem was that in the x64 version, the original keyfile (on my system at least) installed preset to "read only" so the keygen couldn't overwrite it. So once the read only attribute was removed, it worked.

WinRAR - What's new in the latest version

Version 3.90 beta 1

1. WinRAR version for Windows x64 is available. If you use

Windows x64, it is strongly recommended to install 64 bit

WinRAR version. It provides a higher performance and better

shell integration than 32 bit version.

2. RAR compression speed is improved for multi-core

and multi-CPU systems. This improvement is most noticeable

in Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.

3. "Remove duplicate folders from extraction path" option

in "Settings/Compression" dialog is replaced by more universal

"Remove redundant folders from extraction path" option.

This option will eliminate redundant archive name based folders

from extraction path if you unpack an archive with

"Extract to DestName\" context menu command and if archive

root folder contains only one folder and no files.

4. Changes in "Extraction path and options" dialog:

a) "New folder" button creates a new subfolder in currently

selected folder;

:unsure: F2 key renames a selected folder in the folders tree;

c) F5 key updated the tree pane contents;

d) Del key removes a selected folder in the folders tree.

5. You can enable "Show seconds" option in "Settings/File list"

dialog if you wish to see seconds in file dates in file list

in WinRAR shell.

6. "Where to check for SFX archives" options group

in "Settings/Integration/Context menus items" dialog lets

you to control processing of SFX archives in context menus.

For example, if you frequently right click ".exe" files

on slow network disks, you can turn off "Network disks" options

to minimize the delay before displaying the context menu.

7. If you sort files by name in the file list in WinRAR shell,

WinRAR will use the new logical file name sorting,

same as in Windows Explorer, considering digits in file names

by their numerical value. So files will be sorted as

1.txt, 2.txt, 10.txt instead of previous 1.txt, 10.txt, 2.txt.

This new sort behavior is available in Windows XP Service Pack 2

and newer.

8. Ctrl+W key combination can be used to close the main WinRAR window

also as WinRAR viewer windows. "View as Windows text" shortcut

in WinRAR viewer changed from Ctrl+W to Ctrl+I.

9. New command line switch -r- disables recursion completely.

So 'rar a -r- arc dirname' command will add only the empty

dirname folder and ignore its contents. By default, if dirname

does not include wildcards, RAR adds its contents even if

-r switch is not specified.

10. If used when extracting, the new command line switch -ai forces

RAR to ignore file attributes. When using this switch,

extracted files will always have attributes assigned by

operating system to a newly created file by default.

11. If output file name is not specified in "cw" command, console RAR

will send comment data to stdout.

12. When compressing stdin data with -si[name] switch, RAR sets

modification time of archived entry to current system time.

Previous RAR versions did not fill this field, resulting in

meaningless modification time for stdin.

13. Message displayed when you place the mouse cursor on WinRAR

tray icon includes the archive name now. Previously only

time left and total percent were displayed for archiving operations.

14. Bugs fixed:

a) WinRAR could fail to open tar or tar.gz archive if such archive

contained a file larger than 8 GB;

:s WinRAR context menu did not work properly in Windows 7 beta

if icons in context menus were enabled and user clicked

a file inside of Windows 7 Library folder;

c) previous WinRAR versions failed to rename files having 5 or more

continuous spaces in the name. WinRAR shell does not display

such spaces for safety reasons, because they can hide an actual

file extension. But this security measure prevented the rename

command to work properly.

Some nice improvements.
