What's new in this version:

- Added a service for unarchiving files via the the Services menu, or when right-clicking files.
- Some interface tweaks (File menu now works in the preferences window, doesn't ask for destination directories for every archive, archives are not added to the queue twice).
- Proper quarantine propagation for downloaded files.
- Better support for very large Zip and 7-zip files.
- More RAR bugfixes.
- For programmers: The XADMaster library can now be compiled in 64 bit mode, but the The Unarchiver app itself is still only 32 bit.
