WinRAR - What's new in the latest version


   Version 5.80 beta 2
   
   1. "Find files" and command line mode "i" commands:

      a) if "Use all tables" option or "t" modifer of "i" command are used,
         additionally to already supported ANSI, OEM and UTF-16 encodings
         WinRAR will search the specified string in UTF-8 files as well;
      
      b) better support for Unicode text strings;

      c) better performance, especially for case insensitive search;

      d) hexadecimal search output includes both text and hexadecimal
         representation of found matches.

   2. File and total progress bar is displayed when unpacking
      tar.bz2, tar.gz, tar.lz, tar.xz, tar.z archives.
      
      Previously only the total progress was displayed properly for tar.bz2,
      tar.gz and tar.z. Neither file nor total progress was displayed
      for tar.lz and tar.xz.

   3. "File list/Files/Exact sizes" option also changes the file size format
      in WinRAR status bar.
   
   4. Added support for one more variation of TAR format archives.

   5. Bugs fixed:

      a) WinRAR extraction commands in Windows Explorer context menu
         failed if -ag switch was added to rar.ini file.
