                RAR - What's new in the latest version


   Version 3.30

   1. Several -v<size> switches can be specified in the command
      line mode to set different sizes for different volumes.
      For example, 'rar a -v100k -v200k -v300k arcname' command
      sets 100 KB size for first volume, 200KB for second
      and 300KB for all following volumes.

   2. New -st[name] switch to compress data from stdin
      (standard input).

   3. Data analyzing module is tuned to detect executable and audio
      data more accurately. Erroneous selecting of executable
      and audio algorithms could reduce the compression ratio
      in some situations.

   4. 'vt' and 'lt' commands display symlink target names,
      when listing RAR/Unix archives contained symbolic links.
      These commands also display NTFS stream names, when listing
      WinRAR archives contained streams.


   Version 3.20

   1. Previous RAR versions stored only the file modification time
      and only in DOS FAT format with 2 seconds precision.
      While it was enough for FAT, modern file systems provide
      a higher precision. Now RAR format can preserve modification,
      creation and last access time with the precision up to 0.0000001
      second. RAR/Unix supports modification and last access time
      with 1 second precision.

      You may use the command line -ts<m,c,a> switch to choose time
      fields to process and precision of these fields.

   2. 'rn' command allows to rename files inside of RAR archives.

   3. 'lb' and 'vb' commands list contents of archive in the bare mode -
      file names without any additional information.

   4. RAR displays the operation percentage when creating recovery
      volumes or reconstructing missing or corrupt volumes.

   5. Directories are archived after files which they contain,
      so directory time and owner information is set after unpacking
      its contents. Otherwise unpacking files may modify
      the directory time.
