RAR, a powerful archive manager that can be used to reduce the size of files and to decompress RAR, ZIP, and other formats, has reached version 5.21 Beta 1.
RAR is an compressing tool that works on multiple platforms, not only Windows. There are just two main differences, one is that it carries just the RAR name and that there is no GUI.

There is only important change that is truly cross platform. "While previous versions could produce RAR5 volumes of slightly smaller than requested size sometimes, such situation is less likely now. In most cases volume size equals to specified by user," is marked in the changelog.

A complete list of changes, improvements, and fixes can be found in the official announcement, although most of them are for the Windows users. You can download RAR 5.21 Beta 1 right now from Softpedia. This is a binary file and you don't need to install it. Just extract the archive and run RAR in a terminal.

Please keep in mind that this is a development release and user might stumble upon problems and other issues. Also, the application works with arguments for commands, so make sure you check out the help file for more details on how to use it.
