Version 5.21
1. While previous versions could produce RAR5 volumes of slightly
smaller than requested size sometimes, such situation is less
likely now. In most cases volume size equals to specified by user.
2. Now by default RAR skips symbolic links with absolute paths
in link target when extracting. You can enable creating such links
with -ola switch.
Such links pointing to directories outside of extraction destination
directory can present a security risk. Enable their extraction only
if you are sure that archive contents is safe, such as your own backup.
Version 5.20
1. RAR can read the default set of switches from .rarrc file stored
in the user's home directory. Previously it was possible to
define only the same set of switches for all RAR command with
"switches=<switches>" string. Now .rarrc also allows to specify
separate switch sets for individual RAR commands using
the following syntax:
switches_<command>=<any RAR switches, separated by spaces>
For example:
switches_a=-m5 -s
switches_x=-o+
2. File overwrite prompt displays the size and modification time
for existing and new files.
3. When archiving from stdin with -si switch, RAR sets the current system
time to modification time of archived file. Previous version did not
set this time at all.
4. It is possible to use -si and -v<size> switches together. Previous
versions did not allow to create volumes when archiving from stdin.
Version 5.11
1. Timestamp is set to extracted symlinks.
2. Bugs fixed:
a) deleting a file in RAR5 solid archive containing files stored
with -ver switch caused such files to lose version information.
Version 5.10
1. Switch -ai can be used when creating RAR archive,
so predefined values, typical for file and directory,
are stored instead of actual attributes.
