RAR5 compression has been improved for poorly compressible data on modern CPUs with 8 or more execution threads.
If the stored passwords don’t include a proper one, and an encrypted ZIP archive extraction fails, the user can try to disable this option, repeat the extraction and enter a valid password manually. In addition, there is also a minor change to the detection of incorrect passwords for ZIP archives. WinRAR users can find this option under File > Set Default Password > Organize Passwords. If the 'Autodetect passwords' option in the “Organize passwords” dialog is enabled and a password matching a processing archive is present among the saved passwords, WinRAR will automatically use passwords for RAR5 and ZIP archives. WinRAR is constantly being improved to provide users with a stable and reliable software for compressing, securing, and archiving their personal data. The latest WinRAR release features faster RAR5 compression, automatic password processing and improved repair command efficiency as well as many usability enhancements. The final version of WinRAR 6.20 is ready for download!īerlin, January 23th, 2023: RARLAB.COM and win.rar GmbH are pleased to present the final release of WinRAR 6.20.
