No recovery/parity. There needs to be improvements for long term archiving.

It handles dozens of formats (included RAR5), it got also a stable x64 version, and the compression time (or rate) improves with every release. I love it!
Decent stuff. Doing it's job. Whenever WinRAR isn't available or couldn't help, 7-Zip comes to the rescue.
I like it.
Like7-Zip more than WinRar
