The following changes have been made in this version of WinRAR:
Added extraction support for ZIP and ZIPX archives using BZIP2, LZMA and PPMd compression.
Added extraction support for 7z split archives (.7z.001, .7z.002, …).
Added support for AES-NI CPU instructions allowing to improve RAR encryption and decryption performance.
Default theme images are scaled up with better quality in high DPI display mode.
Environment variables, such as %temp%, can be used in “Files to add” field of archiving dialog.
Switch -ai can be used when creating RAR archive, so predefined values, typical for file and folder, are stored instead of actual attributes. Previously this switch could be used only when extracting.
