WinRAR 5.90 Final has been released

31/03/2020 22:54 by Dimitris

RARLAB is the company behind WinRAR and the well-known type of RAR compression. Just released the Final version of WinRAR 5.90.

WinRAR - WinRAR 5.90 Final has been released

The new version of WinRAR shareware comes with many new features, enhancements and fixes. Its previous version was the 5.80 that was released in December 2019.

WinRAR 5.90 is already available for Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux and Android operating systems. Existing users can download the latest version from the RARLAB website and install it on an existing pre-installed version. WinRAR does not support automatic updates.

Those who want to see in detail what the new version provides can go to release notes from here. In general, however, the new version brings the following:

  • RAR compression speed has been improved in systems with processors with 16 or more cores.
  • The maximum number of threads used by WinRAR has increased from 32 to 64. The -mt command line switch accepts values ​​between 1 and 64 to reflect the change.
  • The new threads field in the settings replaces the multi-reference parameter. Accepts values ​​between 1 and the number of CPU cores.
  • When browsing compressed files, the sizes of compressed and uncompressed packages are now displayed.
  • RAR5 file repair performance improved.
  • The progress bar and cancel button are displayed if reading the files takes a long time.
  • Compression and decompression progress windows can now be resized.

Several bugs have been fixed in the new version, including an incorrect repair notification that displays "Recovery record is corrupt" when it is not. While the message did not affect a successful repair, it was annoying to users.

Briefly
WinRAR is still a very popular file compression application, despite the fact that there are now many free alternatives such as PeaZip or Bandizip or 7-zip and others. This program paved the way for compression, introduced the .rar extension and therefore remains at the top.
