WinRAR - What's new in the latest version
Version 5.00 beta 8
1. WinRAR treats files with .txz extension as .tar.xz archives.
2. If 7-Zip archive extraction is cancelled, WinRAR deletes
the incompletely extracted file. Previous versions did not delete it.
3. Bugs fixed:
a) solid archive updating was aborted for archives contaning
BLAKE2 checksums;
b) folder tree panel did not allow to go to the archive root folder;
c) "Reuse existing window" option did not work if first WinRAR copy
was browsing an archive and second WinRAR copy attempted to open
another archive in another folder;
d) "Advanced compression parameters" dialog settings format in Registry
was incompatible with WinRAR 4.20.
