[Frontpaged] WinRAR 5.50 beta 6

[SalaR]

WinRAR x86 (32 bit) 5.50 beta 6
WinRAR x64 (64 bit) 5.50 beta 6

 

   Version 5.50 beta 6

   1. File association option for JAR files is off by default
      in WinRAR installer unless you enabled it earlier in previous
      WinRAR versions. You need to enable this option manually
      if you wish to associate WinRAR with *.jar.

   2. Unless "Allow absolute paths in symbolic links" extraction dialog
      option or -ola command line switch are specified, WinRAR does not
      allow to extract symbolic links with ".." in target if any of
      link path components is an existing symbolic link itself.
      It is done to prevent bypassing WinRAR security checks with
      chains from several symbolic links.
   
   3. Bugs fixed:

      a) if "Add" command was used from inside of archive opened
         in WinRAR interface, "file not found" error could be issued
         for files which pathnames included spaces;
      
      fixed crashes when unpacking corrupt RAR archives;

      c) "rar a arc. filename" command created "arc." archive
         with trailing dot instead of expected "arc" without any extension;

      d) "New folder" button in extraction dialog selected a parent of
         newly created folder instead of such folder itself;

      e) "Checksum error" could be mistakenly reported for some valid
         GZIP archives.
