- Version 1.52
-
- 1. The modification of solid archives is now implemented.
- Option "Always make solid" has been added to the configuration
- menu, if set then RAR will always create solid archives.
- The update and delete file operations for solid archives
- require 520 Kb of RAM. Adding files to a solid archive
- requires 420 Kb of RAM. Adding files to a solid archive is
- significantly faster than updating or deleting.
-
- 2. The RAM requirement for extracting files from an
- archive has been reduced and is approximately 265 Kb. To
- start RAR you need only 230 Kb of memory. The RAM requirement
- for creating and updating archives has not changed
- (approximately 420 Kb).
-
- 3. The switch '-tk' - "do not modify archive date" has been
- added.
-
- 4. The switch '-tl' - "set archive date as the date of
- newest file" has been added.
-
- 5. It is now possible to give several switches, of the form
- '-x<name>' ("exclude files") on the same command line.
-
- 6. The SFX archive module now can be handled by switches:
- -t - "test SFX archive" and
- -v - "view archive content".
-
- 7. Temporary files will no longer be created while extracting
- and testing files in the archive if the operation can be
- performed in RAM.
-
- 8. Temporary file names are all of the form "$RAR$_*.*".
-
- 9. FREE unRAR utility now provided within RAR distributive.
-
-
- Version 1.51
-
- 1. Sound effects are added with option Sound in configuration.
-
- 2. CRC errors may be logged to a file RAR.LOG - option Log
- errors to file in configuration. This feature is available only
- in the registered version.
-
- 3. Pressing Alt-J in full-screen mode while archive processing
- and in menus starts DOS shell. This feature is available only in
- the registered version.
-
- 4. Commands 'C' and 'CF' could not be processed with archives
- created by RAR versions prior to 1.50.
-
-
- Version 1.50.2 beta
-
- 1. Fixed bug in command 'x' with switches -f -u.
-
- 2. Interface advances:
- - clicking mouse key at top of the screen causes to
- change current disk;
- - Ctrl-\ causes entering root directory (changing
- current directory to root).
-
-
- Version 1.50.1 beta
-
- 1. Packing when insufficient memory bug fixed.
-
-
- Version 1.50 beta
-
- 1. In order to get high reliability and compatibility with
- different file and operating systems, the RAR archive file
- format was changed (see TECHNOTE.DOC for details).
-
- RAR 1.50 is compatible with older releases and can handle
- archives created with previous versions, with the exception of
- minor functions - repair, create SFX and adding authenticity
- verification).
-
- Archives created with RAR 1.50 cannot be handled by older
- versions of RAR.
-
- Due to memory limitations, the functionality of backwards
- compatibility, will be reduced to a minimum.
-
- 2. Compression speed has improved in the "most compressive" mode
- (when using the switch -m5).
-
- 3. Password encryption algorithm improved. Files encrypted in
- archives with old RAR versions are also supported.
-
- 4. Authenticity verification feature changed. When the archive is
- created with -av full integrity checking is performed.
-
- 5. User interface improved.
-
- 6. Pressing Control-Break causes return to RAR when used in full-
- screen mode, not exit to DOS as previously.
-
- 7. String search implemented in internal viewer (F7).
-
- 8. Edit function set extended for string enter.
-
- 9. Option "After command ..." removed from Configuration.
-
- 10. Option "Stdout mode" added to configuration.
-
- 11. Switch -vs removed as the identical combination "-v -sfx"
- exists.
-
- 12. Volume size can now be entered in kilobytes (not only in
- thousands of bytes). Add symbol 'k' for it.
