Version 7.01
Release date: 15.05.2024

-
- updating an encrypted file in a solid RAR archive produced a corrupt archive if updated file was the first in archive, no password was specified when starting updating and file name encryption in the updated archive wasn’t enabled;
- WinRAR 7.00 crashed after switching to “Flat folders view” mode from archive subfolder;
- switch -ep4 duplicated the specified path instead of excluding it when extracting;
- if archive created by Unix RAR version contained symlinks with path separator characters in target paths, these characters could be broken when modifying such archive with Windows RAR;
- invalid file name was displayed in file rename and file execute WinRAR error messages;
- SFX “Shortcut” command failed to recognize empty parameters defined like “Shortcut=D,””,folder”, while correctly recognizing such parameters without quote marks like “Shortcut=D,,folder”;
