Mends comments display for archive created with old WinRAR

Nov 7, 2011 10:26 GMT  ·  By

The latest build of WinRAR does not add any new features, but it improves on stability and backwards compatibility. Many users might not find the current development details too important, but long time users of the application may think otherwise.

Especially since the third beta for WinRAR 4.10 now has no problems displaying comments for older archives, created with versions 2.9 and older of the application. This may seem like trivial stuff, but it may also be indicative of a final version coming soon.

The second bug fixed in this version of the app also refers to archive comments. In the previous release switch –z without a parameter would not read the archive comment from “stdin” file pointer in console RAR.
