RARLAB is the company behind WinRAR and the well-known type of RAR compression. Just released the Final version of WinRAR 6.20.
WinRAR 6.20 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.
Several bugs have been fixed in the new version, including an incorrect repair notification showing “Recovery record is corrupt”, when in fact it is not. While the message did not affect a successful repair, it was annoying to users.
Briefly
WinRAR is still a popular compression application files (for no reason) despite the fact that there are now many free ones alternatives solutions (and quite good ones) like PeaZip or Bandizip or the 7-zip and others.
The program this paved the way for compression, established the .rar extension, and is why it remains where it is.
