WinRAR 3.40 beta 1

RAR is a general purpose archiving and compression program competing with/replacing programs such as PKZip, ARJ, and others. RAR offers significantly improved compression ratios, easier use and a cheaper price as well as supporting long file names, disk spanning, and self-extracting file creation.

New "Security" dialog in WinRAR settings:

a) "File types to exclude from extracting" option to prevent
extracting of potentially dangerous files like .exe, .scr
and .pif;

b) "Propose to select virus scanner" option modifies behavior
of "Scan archive for viruses" command. You may turn it off
if you wish to skip the virus scanner selection dialog.

5. New command line switch -ep3 allows to save and restore
full file paths including the drive letter.

WinRAR shell equivalent of -ep3 switch are options
"Store full paths including drive letter" in "Files/File paths"
page of archiving dialog and "Extract absolute paths"
in "Advanced/File paths" page of extracting dialog.
