Release     : 3.fc17

Summary     : BitTorrent client based on libtorrent
Description :
A BitTorrent client using libtorrent, which on high-bandwidth connections is
able to seed at 3 times the speed of the official client. Using
ncurses its ideal for use with screen or dtach. It supports
saving of sessions and allows the user to add and remove torrents and scanning
of directories for torrent files to seed and/or download.

Update Information:

Updated rtorrent and libtorrent to latest upstream release:

- Added extensive unit test for tracker code.

- When setting timeouts above/below the max bounds use the boundary value instead of discarding it.

- Handle short min_interval properly in promiscious mode.

- Properly handle min_interval after successful tracker requests.

- Fixed a bug where manual tracker update for a preferred tracker that fails would end up rerequesting instantly.

- Send stopped event before disabling tracker controller.

- Wait for disowned http requests to finish to ensure stopped event gets sent to tracker on client shutdown.

- Fixed compilation issues with latest clang version.

- Added backtrace to internal_error.

- Added logging of segfault/bus signal and backtrace to LOG_CRITICAL.

- Added 'catch' command to allow safely calling commands that might fail with input_error. Note that double-brackets are required as the method needs to be called by the 'catch' command, not the parser.

    catch = ((foo.bar,"bad input"))

- For POSIX threads config script try none first to avoid adding flags when not needed.

- Allow functions and lists of functions to be passed to view.event_{added,removed}.

This release fixes some serious issues with tracker requesting, and adds a suite of unit tests to ensure future modifications pass some basic sanity tests.
