New in MacPAR deLuxe 4.4.1 (Sep 3, 2013)
- Fixed an issue that could cause the par2 check to fail with an “internal error” in par2 sets with many files.
New in MacPAR deLuxe 4.4 (Aug 19, 2013)
- Fixed an issue that could cause the unrar function to create a “flat” folder structure.
New in MacPAR deLuxe 4.3 (May 7, 2013)
- The Unrar function sometimes produced incorrect results (resulting in a "checksum error"). This has been fixed.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the Help window to be shown without contents.
- Improved overall stability
New in MacPAR deLuxe 4.2.6 (Jul 30, 2011)
- Previously processed files do not appear in the Dock anymore (in Mac OS X 10.7).

- Fixed an issue that could cause the program to take a very long time opening a par2 file.
- Added a new post-process macro for command line rules.
- Added an icon for rar documents (becomes visible if you link the “rar” extension to MacPAR deLuxe).
- Upgraded all document icons to large size (512 x 512 pixels).
New in MacPAR deLuxe 4.0 (Jan 3, 2010)
- This version requires Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or better. It does not run on previous versions of the operating system.
- The program uses Snow Leopard techniques (most notably Grand Central Dispatch) to speed up the par process, and to improve the distribution of the work load over multiple processor cores.
- The program now runs fully 64 bit (on a 64-bit Mac); this goes for the user interface as well as the par and rar engines. It comes as a universal binary, so it runs on 32-bit Macs as well.
- Improved ease-of-use by re-organizing the tool bar, adding more descriptive tool tips, and rewriting parts of the documentation.
- Fixed a few technical issues, improving stability and reliability.
New in MacPAR deLuxe 3.8 (Mar 20, 2008)
- You can now configure a folder where the Unrar results will always be written.
- Added a configuration option for fully unattended operation.
- Added a configuration option to limit the number of CPU cores used for par2 processing. Default is still to use all cores.
- In Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on an Intel Macintosh the par2 process now runs in 64-bit mode, resulting in a slight performance improvement.
- The Quit menu is now disabled while a par or unrar is running. You must explicitly cancel before quitting.
- Before starting the par / par2 process the program now checks if the folder is writable.
- The program no longer runs on Mac OSX 10.3.x (Panther). Supported systems are 10.4.x (Tiger) and 10.5.x (Leopard).
