Changelog for rar-4.2.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm :
Fri Jun 15 14:00:00 2012 lazy.kentAATTopensuse.org
- Update to 4.2.0.

* Changes in RAR compression:
a) Multithreaded RAR compression is enabled by default. You can
disable it with -mt1 switch.
Comparing to RAR 4.11, some speed gain is possible in single
processor mode as well.
Speed gain depends on data type and average file size.
Several cores are utilized more efficiently when compressing
large files.
b) We had to increase memory requirements to achieve higher
compression speed. General RAR compression algorithm
allocates about 120 MB comparing to 40 MB in RAR 4.11.
c) RAR text compression algorithm cannot utilize several CPU
cores efficiently, so its performance in multiprocessor
environment is much lower than for general algorithm. Also
its decompression speed is much lower than in general
algorithm regardless of CPU number. So we decided to disable
the text algorithm by default.
If you need maximum possible compression ratio for plain
text data regardless of speed, you can enable the text
compression with -mct switch.

* RAR general decompression algorithm speed is slightly improved
though not to same extent as RAR compression. RAR
decompression is not able to use several processor cores, so
its performance does not depend on a number of cores.

Thu Mar 1 13:00:00 2012 lazy.kentAATTopensuse.org
- Update to 4.1.1.

* Bugs fixed:
a) if -x
*\\somedir\\
* exclusion mask was specified when archiving
and if name of current directory contained \'somedir\', RAR
could exclude all files and stop creating an archive.
