Basically, it's hard to tell whats new with all the "WinRAR"-oriented crud. But a download of (EMX) RAR32 shareware has whatsnew.txt, so here's a brief list of changes since 3.80:


                RAR - What's new in the latest version


   Version 3.93

   1. Bugs fixed:

      a) in RAR 3.92 -xd:\path\dir switch could also exclude directories,
         which path does not match the path specified in the switch
         and only the directory name is the same as specified;
     
      b) switches -y -or did not work correctly together. Switch -or was
         ignored in presence of -y.

   
   Version 3.92

   1. In RAR 3.91 -x<mask> switch could also exclude directories
      from archiving even if mask contained wilcard characters and did not
      contain a path. For example, -x*. excluded all those directories,
      which do not have the extension in the name. Now -x switch uses
      RAR 3.80 approach for masks without path, excluding directories
      only if mask does not contain wildcards and matches the directory
      name exactly

   2. If file matched two different masks in RarFiles.lst,
      RAR could select the last match. Normally, if neither of masks
      is a subset of another, the first match must be chosen.


   Version 3.91

   1. Bugs fixed:

      a) hexadecimal search in "ih" command failed to find matches
         if first byte in search string was greater than 127.


   Version 3.90

   1. New command line switch -r- disables recursion completely.
      So 'rar a -r- arc dirname' command will add only the empty
      dirname folder and ignore its contents. By default, if dirname
      does not include wildcards, RAR adds its contents even if
      -r switch is not specified.

   2. If used when extracting, the new command line switch -ai
      forces RAR to ignore file attributes. When using this switch,
      extracted files will always have attributes assigned by
      operating system to a newly created file by default.

   3. If output file name is not specified in "cw" command,
      RAR will send comment data to stdout.

   4. When compressing stdin data with -si[name] switch, RAR sets
      modification time of archived entry to current system time.
      Previous RAR versions did not fill this field, resulting in
      meaningless modification time for stdin.
