                RAR - What's new in the latest version


   Version 2.80

   1. Command 's-' allows to remove SFX module from SFX archive.

   2. Switch '-ag' supports two new format parameters:

      a) 'W' - a number of the current week in a year;

      b) 'A' - a number of the current day in a week.
         Weeks start with Sunday.

   3. New switch '-k' - lock archive.

   4. New switch '-vp' - pause after each volume.

   5. You may specify the recovery record size as a percentage of 
      the total archive size in 'rr' command and '-rr' switch. 
      For example, -rr3%

   6. New -ep2 switch - store full file paths when archiving.

   7. Switch -sv is removed, now RAR by default creates independent 
      volumes. You may override it using the new -sd switch, but note 
      that it reduces your chances to restore a part of data in case 
      of archive damage.

   8. Now RAR also searches for files .rarrc, rarfiles.lst and rarreg.key
      in /etc directory. SFX modules can be put to /usr/lib or
      /usr/local/lib. All these files can be also placed to user's
      home directory as before.

      The distributive includes makefile to simplify installation.


   Version 2.71

   1. When using -as switch the previous version sometimes displayed
      a wrong file name in the "Deleting <filename>" message.
      Corrected now.


   Version 2.70

   1. Both compression and speed have been improved.
      My thanks to Alexander Khoroshev, who, once again, provided
      invaluabel assistance to improve this new version.

   2. Total progress percentage is displayed when testing or extracting
      from a single RAR archive (except volumes) or group of archives.

   3. New command line switches -to<time> and -tn<time> allow to
      process files older or newer than specified time.

   4. Switch -rr and command RR are not limited to 8 recovery sectors.
      Now the recovery record may contain up to 4096 sectors.

      If the sectors number is not specified, the size of the recovery
      information is about 1.2% of the total archive size, this usually
      allows the recovery of up tp 0.7% of continuously damaged data 
      of the total archive size.

      Note that recovery records larger than 8 sectors cannot be used
      by previous RAR versions.

   5. The default value of dictionary size is changed to 1024KB.

   6. RAR now supports wildcards in the archive name also in 'RR' command.

   7. New switch -idp disables displaying of the percentage indicator.
      May be useful when redirecting RAR output to a file.
