Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, RAR is an archive manager used for compressing and decompressing RAR, ZIP and other types of archives. The latest version available is RAR 5.11, which has been recently released, coming with the below changes, since RAR 5.10:

  • WinRAR 5.10 did not set “hidden”, “read-only” and “system” file attributes when unpacking ZIP archives;
  • WinRAR 5.10 failed to update self-extracting RAR archives containing nested ZIP archives stored without compression;
  • ZIP archive created with “Do not store paths” option included unnecessary empty name records for folders;
  • deleting a file in RAR5 solid archive containing files stored with -ver switch caused such files to lose version information;
  • black rectangles were displayed instead of toolbar buttons in 16- and 24- bit screen color modes and Windows custom text size larger than 100%.
