WinRK File Archiver v2.1.5
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Date: 3rd August, 2005 Files: 01 x 5.00mb
WinRK is a new high performance file archiver. Built from the ground up
for better compression and security, it provides the best platform for
managing and creating file archives.
WinRK supports all the most common archive formats in use today, ZIP,
GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, RAR and ISO. WinRK's ZIP support is fully compatible
with both the Zip64 standard and the new WinZIP AES encryption standard.
This means that ZIP files created with WinRK can take advantage of file
and archive sizes of over 4GB, along with strong encryption capabilities.
The ZIP deflate and deflate64 algorithms have been improved as well,
providing 10-20% smaller archives in most cases, without loosing any
compatibility!
WinRK also provides a new high performance RK archive format. This format
was designed from the outset to remove many of the limitations of older
archive formats, and so provides much better compression and security
than other formats. It supports a virtually unlimited archive size, which
makes it ideal for very large backups. It also provides compression
options ranging from fast and efficient, all the way to a 'spare no cost'
approach which provides the very best compression ratios in the world.
One of the most interesting innovations that WinRK brings to archiving
is a modern user interface design. Many of the most popular archivers
require unintuitive dialog boxes to be carefully navigated in order to
add files to an archive, or even to extract files in some cases. WinRK
provides a much more intuitive interface that treats archives in much
the same way as a CD-burner treats CDs. This means that files may be
scheduled to be removed from, or added to an archive at the same time so
as to reduce the time taken actually performing the modifications. This
can be especially important for very large archives. It also means that
no restriction is placed on modifying archives, even for so called solid
archives. Archives may have files removed or added at any time.
A new addition to WinRK is support for a Plugin API. This allows
developers to extend WinRK by writing DLL plugins which support
different archive formats. Support is also provided for new compression
algorithms to be plugged directly into the WinRK format, allowing codec
developers to leverage the full potential of the WinRK format with very
little extra work.
v2.1.5 - 2/8/2005:
* Updated ace_plugin.dll to v1.12.
* Added new bzip2_plugin.dll which provides a BZIP2 codec for use in WinRK.
* Fixed bug in file reference handling leading to duplication of desktop
node in drive tree control.
* Improved ROLZ compression ratio.
* Fixed bug in text handler introduced in build 3, affecting compression of
Russian text.
* Fixed bug where archive panel is not redrawn after apply is selected.
* Apply and revert buttons now correctly deactivated when adding files.
* Drag and drop extract to explorer no longer asks permission to overwrite
temp files.
* Added captions to main toolbar buttons to make it easier for newbies to
understand the buttons.
