WHAT'S NEW

1. "Names encoding" option in RAR settings is renamed to "Non-Unicode names encoding". Selected encoding is displayed below the option name. UTF-8 is added at the top of encodings list, which can be useful when processing a malformed ZIP archive with UTF-8 file names, but without UTF-8 flag in file headers.

2. Color of navigation bar at the bottom of screen is always black now. On some devices it could be white in Android 12 light display mode, mismatching the rest of RAR colors.
