    Reviewing 5.00 Beta 5 (Jun 4, 2013)

    The new RAR5 format has few technical improvements, but I don't think offers any compelling reason for most people to migrate. Heck, people still primarily use ZIP because it's 'good enough', and RAR5 is only a marginal improvement of RAR, so it stands little to no chance of widespread adoption except for edge cases.

    Other than the new RAR5 format, this major version doesn't have that many changes.

    Apparently you don't understand the concept of beta ... just like this site name happens to be - let alone the application in question!

    Reviewing 4.20 (Aug 16, 2012)

    It's very rare that the programmer of WinRAR has made a misstep, but 4.20 is one of them. Reverted to 4.11 and all is well.

    Crashes on closing of the app, went back to 4.11 and everything is working fine.
