What's new in this version:

- Fixes unpacking of password-protected Zip files, which was broken in the last update.
- Source can now be built with a completely free implementation of RAR which works for all versions, including multimedia filters, avoiding the non-GPL-compatible unrar license. (There is also better support for ancient RAR 1.5 files.)
- Has a workaround for a Paragon NTFS bug that made unpacking on NTFS drives generate errors.
- Fixes for Tar and RPM files.
- There are now two command-line utilities available, unar and lsar, which can be used to unpack and list archives, respectively. They are still in development and not really feature-complete, but they should work. These are available as precompiled binaries for both OS X and Windows on the download page, and can also be built on Linux.
