> Version 0.03 - (Released)

> - Rar add-on now has full password support - password can be used for extracting and adding files
> - Fixed a minor bug in rar add-on that caused progress bar to unnecessarily update in test/extract functions
> - Rar add-on uses the newer unrar 3.10 for extraction purposes and older rar 2.x for creating/adding (many thanks to Miguel Guerreiro for suggesting this and for providing test files). Because of the difference in rar and unrar versions, you will not be able to add files to a 3.x password-protected rar archive

> - Fixed a bug that showed "Adding error" or "Deleting error" when the archive resides on a filesystem without mime (thanks to Tim de Jong/Sir Mik for reporting)

> Version 0.01 - (Released)

> - First public released. All looks well :)
