Update Information:

Bump Fedora 15 to the latest rtorrent, which is largely a bugfix release.

Changelog:

* Added 'execute.*.bg' commands for non-blocking calls. Always returns 0.

* Added support for prioritizing first/last chunk of files matching specified patterns. Default:

  file.prioritize_toc.set=0
  file.prioritize_toc.first.set = {*.avi,*.mp4,*.mkv,*.gz}
  file.prioritize_toc.last.set  = {*.zip}

* Added 'method.rlookup' and 'method.rlookup.clear' commands for looking up the event handlers holding a specified key, and set views to support rlookup.

* Added 'd.timestamp.finished' that is set when a downloading torrent completes. For torrents that only seed it remains '0'.

* Added 'elapsed.{less,greater}' for checking the time elapsed since a time is less/greater, and it also returns false in all cases where the time is '0'.

* Moved the default value for 'system.files.max_size' to rtorrent, and set the default in libtorrent to ~0.

* Increased the default values for min/max_peers and max_uploads.

* Fixed a bug that would cause hash checking to block excessively in some cases.

* Fixed a bug when setting the pex flags.

* Fixed an issue where DHT's hashing function for TR1 unordered_map was casting unaligned size_t pointers.

* Fixed default session name.

* Added a missing inline that could cause linking errors.
