Version 5.31

1. Following issues are corrected in Windows high DPI mode:

a) if text size in Windows settings was set to 150% or larger,
the font size in WinRAR help was not increased accordingly,
resulting in too small text;

default columns width in WinRAR file list was less
than expected for 125% or larger Windows text setting.

2. Interface improvements for right to left languages:

a) proper text alignment in simple WinRAR prompts, such as
confirmations to delete archived files or to clear the log file;

"OK", "Cancel", "Help" buttons in multi-page dialogs,
such as archiving and extraction options or WinRAR settings,
are aligned correctly and translated to default Windows
display language.

3. Bugs fixed:

a) WinRAR SFX module could load DLL libraries from its own executable
folder as a result of calling some Windows API functions.
It could lead to security threat if DLL files with malicious code
were stored in the same folder as SFX archive. Now SFX module
takes additional steps to prevent such situation in Windows Vista
and newer.

Be aware that users without latest Windows security patches
installed also as Windows XP users still can be affected,
so they must be especially careful to run SFX archive from
a folder without suspicious DLL files.

Version 5.30

1. Information about the critical vulnerability in WinRAR self-extracting
archives published in news in September and October 2015 is incorrect.
Unfortunately mass media failed to recognize that what was described
as WinRAR vulnerability is Windows OLE vulnerability patched in November 2014:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms14-064.aspx

Even if unpatched, this Windows OLE vulnerability does not introduce
new risk factors for WinRAR SFX archives.

Please read http://rarlab.com/vuln_sfx_html2.htm for more details.

No patches for WinRAR are needed.

2. Added extraction of multipart ZIP archives created by 7-Zip.
Such archives have .zip.001, .zip.002, ... file extensions.
You need to open .zip.001 file in WinRAR shell to browse 
or unpack such archive. All parts must be stored in the same folder
before starting extraction.

3. Added extraction of files split to multiple parts with .001,
.002, ..., extensions. You can open .001 file as a usual archive
and then unpack its contents. WinRAR will combine all parts
and save them to extracted file. All parts must be stored
in the same folder before starting extraction.

"001" item is included to "Associate WinRAR with" list
in "Settings/Integration" dialog.

4. WinRAR file list allows to use mouse Back and Forward buttons
or Alt+Left and Alt+Right keyboard shortcuts to navigate
in recently visited folders.

5. Folder wildcards are allowed in RAR command line in file names to
archive. For example:

rar a backup c:\backup\2015*\*

will archive all '2015*' folders in c:\backup. Use -r switch to search
for '2015*' also in c:\backup subfolders.

6. "Extract" button in SFX archive is changed to "Pause" when extraction
 is started, so it is possible to pause SFX extraction and resume it
 later.

7. "Skip encrypted" option in "Find files" dialog to silently skip
 encrypted archives while performing search command.

8. Archive test command works for tar.gz, tar.bz2 and tar.xz archives.
 Since TAR format does not provide file data checksums, WinRAR checks
 only validity of GZIP, BZIP2 or XZ container.

9. Adding a new string to WinRAR diagnostic messages window could be
 slow and affect the operation performance in case of thousands
 of errors. Now it works fast regardless of errors number.

10. New 'R' object for -sc switch defines encoding of console
 RAR messages sent to redirected files and pipes. For example:

 rar lb -scur data > list.txt

will produce Unicode list.txt with archived file names.

11. Sleep time parameter in -ri<priority>[:<sleep_time>] switch is
 adjusted to lower its impact to RAR performance and especially
 to recovery record related operations. Higher sleep time values
 are needed to reduce the system load to same level as
 in previous versions.

12. Console RAR "l" and "v" commands display file time in YYYY-MM-DD
 format.

13. When extracting RAR and ZIP archives created in Unix, WinRAR maps
 decomposed Unicode characters to precomposed. Such conversion
 is required for some Unix and OS X archives to correctly unpack
 non-English archived names in Windows. It works for Windows versions
 starting from Windows Vista.

14. Modification time is set for all folders created when unpacking
 .7z archives. Previous versions set it only for non-empty folders.

15. WinRAR prevents a computer to go to sleep by inactivity timeout
 until current operation, such as archiving, extraction or another
 archive processing, is done.

16. Total progress bar is displayed when extracting .arj, .lzh and .cab
 archives (except multivolume archives).

17. Progress bar is displayed when deleting files after archiving
 and when clearing "Archive" attribute of archived files.

18. "Test" command also verifies contents of NTFS alternate data streams
 in RAR 3.x - 5.x archives. Previously their contents was checked
 only during extraction command.

19. SFX module sets sfxstime environment variable, which contains
 the module start time in "YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-ms" format.
 You can specify it in Path command if you need to generate a time
 based unique installation path, such as "Path=myapp-%sfxstime%".

20. Bugs fixed:

a) console RAR crashed instead of displaying an overwrite prompt
 when attempting to add files to already existing volumes;

b) console RAR "lt" command did not display seconds in file timestamp;

c) WinRAR failed to decompress .xxe files if they did not include
 "section N of xxencode" string in the body;

d) WinRAR could not restore contents of NTFS alternate data stream
  saved with -os switch if it was split between different volumes.
