win.rar GmbH released WinRAR 3.80 beta 1
(PRWEB) June 5, 2008 -- win.rar GmbH and RARLAB are proud to announce the first beta release of the new WinRAR 3.80.
Highlights of the 3.80 (beta 1) release are:
Now WinRAR is supporting Zip Archives in UTF-8 Format as well as WinZip AES encrypted Zip Archives.
Furthermore, WinRAR is providing its users with more flexibility, which additionally strengthens the usability of the context menu. Now you can add different parameters to your context menu under the option "Add to Context Menu" in "Profile parameters" dialog, so that each individual profile will be displayed at the Explorer context menu.
To improve user's safety and the ease of managing archives, the "Ask before overwrite" and "Skip existing files" update modes are now available in archiving dialog.
Another new security enhancement feature is the "Wipe temporary files" option in the "Settings/Security" dialog, which provides a more secure way to delete temporary WinRAR files. Besides there is a new "Options" page that allows modifying the behavior of "Deleted files after archiving". The user has now the possibility to either: delete the file, move the file to the Recycle Bin, or wipe the file (prevent recovery of deleted files).
These are just some of the features that have been added or improved. More information on all of other improved items can be found here: http://www.win-rar.com/whatsnew.html.
Of course, as always, the upgrade to 3.80 is absolutely free for all registered users. Upgrading is quick and easy.
