Some BUGs of 7-Zip 9.31 alpha were fixed:
- 7-Zip could not unpack some RAR archives
- 7-Zip File Manager could work incorrectly for unpacking from solid archives, if archive was open in 7-Zip File Manager. Also 7-Zip File Manager could leave some unpacked files in TEMP folder of Windows. So look your TEMP folder and remove folders that have “7z” prefix in name.
