WinRAR 3.71 is Released

September 26th, 2007 Noor

the final version of WinRAR 3.71 was released.

The new WinRAR 3.71 fixes some vulnerabilities that were just recently discovered.

Some of the features which are improved with the release of version 3.71 are:

• compatibility of high DPI dsplay modes with WinRAR tray icon and inclusion of full path of Archive names in rar.log error log file.
• WinRAR could crash when decompressing some of corrupt RAR archives; this has been corrected.
• WinRAR is now able to unpack an individual file from subfolder of ACE archive using the drag and drop without fail.
• high ASCII names in ISO files using ISO 9660 format without Joliet format extension would now be displayed correctly.

Bugs Fixed:

1. switch -tl and “Set archive time to latest file time” option could fail in previous version. Sometimes they set archive time to current system time instead of latest file time;
2. if -ag switch mask contained archive number, month and minute characters, WinRAR placed ‘I’ character instead of minute value into generated archive name for archive numbers exceeding 1;
3. high ASCII names in ISO files using ISO 9660 format without Joliet format extension were displayed incorrectly;
4. WinRAR could crash when decompressing some of corrupt RAR archives;
5. if “Turn PC off when done” option was set in “Convert archives” command, WinRAR turned PC off after converting the first archive in selected group instead of after converting the entire group;
6. if user specified a non-existent destination path in SFX archive in Vista, SFX could enter into infinite “create new SFX window” loop;
7. WinRAR could fail to unpack an individual file from subfolder of ACE archive using the drag and drop.

About WinRAR:

WinRAR is a 32-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, the powerful archiver and archive manager. RAR files can usually compress content up to 30 percent better than ZIP files. WinRAR’s main features are very strong general and multimedia compression, processing of non-RARarchives, long filename support, programmable self-extracting archives(SFX), damaged archive repair, authenticity verification, embedded file comments, and encryption. WinRAR is available in over 45 different languages and runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP/Vista. The command line version RAR is available for Linux, DOS, OS/2, FreeBSD and MAC OS X. Pocket RAR, the free WinRAR version for Pocket PCs and the new WinRAR for U3 complete the compression product range. So WinRAR simply is “The Size Solution”.
