The latest version of WinRAR will decompress multimedia files 30% quicker, saves used archive
passwords for re-utilization and offers optimized Unicode support.
Berlin, Germany, November 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- win.rar GmbH and Rarlab introduced the first beta
version of WinRAR 4.0. The world's leading compression software now works faster. Depending on data
type, decompression can be up to 30% faster than in previous versions. With the newly integrated
password manager, users are able to have their favourite archive encoding passwords saved for future
follow ups. Even better, the software's Unicode support has been optimized.
This way, the password could be applied and retrieved easily and comfortably at any time for file
extracting purposes. Even better, users can also extract several different files at the same time as long as
they are encrypted with the same password. Should there be no password entered, WinRAR will
automatically skip all encoded archives during the compression process.
· Optional password display: via analogous password dialogue in the packing and unpacking process,
passwords now can be visible during both processes.
· Message list in GUI SFX archives only displays the operation status and error messages. It does not

contain the names of all extracted files anymore. This change improves the extracting speed process and
reduces memory capacity for SFX archives containing a large number of files. Also, it makes it easier to
locate error messages since they are not hidden among the extracted file names.
· At a glance: if an archive with recovery records (retrieval information) and recovery volumes are being
processed, WinRAR 4.0 will show the processing status in percentage.

WinRAR distinguishes itself through the high compression rate and offers all the advantages of the RAR
formats, such as: solid archive system and split archives, recovery records, self-extracting archive,
converting functionality for archive and plenty of security options. At the same time, the program could
run smoothly, while using minimal disk space. Apart from the RAR format, WinRAR also supports a
long list of non-RAR formats, as well as ZIP format, and therefore offers the best compatibility in its
class.
Another tip: for all Windows-64-Bit-users, it is highly recommended to install the WinRAR 64 Bit
version. It is faster, and offers a better integration than the 32-Bit version. WinRAR´s compression speed
under Windows Vista and Windows 7 or any other multi-core-system with more than one main processor
would be increased considerably.
