WinRAR 6.11

WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce the size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format

Features of WinRAR:
• Using WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression by consistently making smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs.
• WinRAR provides complete support for RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives.
• WinRAR offers a graphic interactive interface utilizing mouse and menus as well as the command line interface.
• WinRAR is easier to use than many other archivers with the inclusion of a special “Wizard” mode which allows instant access to the basic archiving functions through a simple question and answer procedure. This avoids confusion in the early stages of use.
• WinRAR offers you the benefit of industry strength archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a key of 128 bits.
• WinRAR supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. The number of archived files is, for all practical purposes, unlimited.
• WinRAR offers the ability to create selfextracting and multivolume archives.
Recovery record and recovery volumes allow to reconstruct even physically damaged archives.
• WinRAR features are constantly being developed to keep WinRAR ahead of the pack.

Version 6.11

1. Added support for Gz archives with large archive comments.
Previously the extraction command failed to unpack gz archives
if comment size exceeded 16 KB.

2. Archive comments in gz archives are displayed in the comment window
and recognized by “Show information” command. Large comments are
shown partially.

Previous versions didn’t display Gzip comments.

3. Reserved device names followed by file extension, such as aux.txt,
are extracted as is in Windows 11 even without “Allow potentially
incompatible names” option or -oni command line switch.
Unlike previous Windows versions, Windows 11 treats such names
as usual files.

Device names without extension, such as aux, still require these
options to be unpacked as is regardless of Windows version.

4. Switch -mes can be also used to suppress the password prompt
and abort when adding files to encrypted solid archive.

5. Additional measures to prevent extracting insecure links are
implemented.

6. Bugs fixed:

a) if password exceeding 127 characters was entered when unpacking
an encrypted archive with console RAR, text after 127th character
could be erroneously recognized as user’s input by different
prompts issued later;

b) wrong archived file time could be displayed in overwrite prompt
when extracting a file from ZIP archive. It happened if such
archive included extended file times and was created in another
time zone. It didn’t affect the actual file time, which was set
properly upon extraction.
