    WinRAR 7.xx cannot create RAR4 archives anymore. Keep a copy of 6.24 around if you depend on it.

    Only creation (and updating) is affected, listing and extracting still works.

    What's wrong with RAR5 format?

    Nothing wrong with RAR5 itself, it's just that sometimes I need to send files to non-tech savvy people and they often have outdated software and whatever program they use tells them that the archive is corrupt..

    For those types of users, I prefer to create and send a self-expanding EXE file. YMMV

    There are no more 32-bit versions it seems. I hope someday the ARM64 build
    And a Mac version for WinRAR (tentatively named MacRAR)
