The full changelog on the WinRAR website highlights additional improvements (just a selection below): Last but not least, you may place the mouse cursor over archives in the progress window to display the full archive name. You can password protect RAR archives that you create in WinRAR and select the 'encrypt file names' option to scramble file names in the archive as well. The feature is also available for encrypted files in ZIP archives and improves the existing feature that worked on encrypted file data. When you enter an incorrect password for a password protected RAR archive with encrypted file names, WinRAR displays the password prompt again instead of just aborting the extraction process as it has done previously. If you work with password protected archives regularly, you may benefit from another improvement that went into WinRAR 5.60. WinRAR 5.60 supports different encodings including ANSI, OEM, UTF-8 and UTF-16 and can display them correct in comment files. You can run repair operations for any RAR archive right from the main interface with a click on the repair button in WinRAR's toolbar. The latter is interesting as it introduces repair functionality that uses several archives with recovery records to merge them 'into a single file in arbitrary order'.

The new algorithm is capable of detecting 'deletions and insertions of unlimited site' as well as 'shuffled data'. The developers have improved the RAR5 format repair efficiency. The window comes with a refreshed compression ratio graph and 'Names and Data' is displayed now under Encryption if the archive uses encrypted file names. WinRAR's info view window has bit of a new look as well. What's left then is to switch to the new theme under Options > Themes > WinRAR Classic to restore the classic look.

Those who do not like the new looks can download the classic theme with a click on this link to install it and make it the default theme of WinRAR again.Īll that is required for that is to download the theme to the local system and select it under Options > Themes > Organize Themes > Add to install it. The new WinRAR 5.60 features new icons and new colors for the most part the functionality is still there and existing WinRAR users will feel right at home. WinRAR users don't have to worry about the new look of the compression tool on the other hand the refresh gives the toolbar just a new theme without changing anything functionality-wise. Interface modifications of popular programs are highly controversial usually think of Mozilla's launch of Firefox Australis or Microsoft's introduction of the Ribbon interface in Office. The new version of WinRAR comes with a new look and feature improvements.
