What's New in 5.50.build42
1. Added support for PAX extended headers in TAR archives. Such headers are utilized by modern TAR tools to store high precision file times and lengthy file names.
2. If wrong password is entered when unpacking an encrypted file in RAR5 archive, RAR proposes to enter a valid password for same file again instead of aborting extraction.
3. "Information" command in previous versions did not display ZIP archive comment if comment length was less than 24 characters. Fixed now.
