-btpd 0.16:
-----------
-
-Misc:
-- Added "start all" (start -a) command.
-- Allow adding multiple torrents at once.
-- Custom list formatting options.
-- Man pages for btpd, btcli, and btinfo.
-
-Bug fixes:
-- Handle .torrent files larger than 2MB.
-- http parsing and addrinfo freeing fixes.
-
-btpd 0.15:
-----------
-
-Bug fixes:
-- The event loop could busy loop for up to a millisecond sometimes.
-- On some platforms btpd couldn't initiate connections to other peers.
-- The timer code was broken on MacOS X.
-
-btpd 0.14:
-----------
-
-Misc:
-- IPv6 support.
-- Bans peers with bad data.
-- Better tracker compatability and more reliable tracker communication.
-- Show tracker counts in btcli stat.
-- Compiles on Solaris 10.
-- Btpd will now signal startup failures via the process exit value and
-  print the failure reason to stdout.
-- Better shutdown and torrent stop behaviour.
-- Needs pthreads again.
-- Removed libevent in favour of own event loop code.
-
-Bug fixes:
-- An integer array was misaligned, which could cause crashes on systems
-  with alignment requirements. E.g., on XScale arm.
-- An error in the torrent parsing code could cause crashes.
-- The '--topdir' option to btcli add didn't work properly for single file
-  torrents.
-- The system name lookup scheme is now used. In btpd 0.13 only dns lookups
-  were performed.
-
-btpd 0.13:
-----------
-
-Misc:
-- cURL is no longer required. btpd now uses its own http client.
-- btpd doesn't use threads anymore, so pthreads are not required.
-- Needed parts of libevent are now included in btpd.
-- I/O errors for torrents no longer make btpd shut down. Instead the
-  problematic torrent is stopped.
-- Added the option '--ip' to specify the ip address btpd will report
-  to trackers.
-- Resume file format changed. Already added torrents will be retested once.
-- The torrent info (ratio etc.) are now saved regularly.
-- Reduced the amount of outgoing data kept in memory.
-
-btpd 0.12:
-----------
-
-Misc:
-- btpd now starts with the same set of active torrents as it had when it was
-  last shut down. The new '--empty-start' option disables this feature.
-- btpd now supports the key tracker extension.
-- btpd now supports the multi tracker extension.
-- btcli list and stat print headers for the presented data. Both commands
-  displays more data than before.
-- Torrent management has changed, with changes to the add and del commands
-  and two new commands, start and stop, as a result. Operation on torrents
-  can now be done by number as well as torrent file.
-- A small delay has been added for contacting the same announce URL.
-- btpd sends keepalive messages.
-- The number of have messages sent has been reduced by not sending them to
-  peers that already have the piece.
-- The structure of the torrents directory in the btpd directory has changed.
-  It is best to remove it before running btpd 0.12.
-
-Bug fixes:
-- Zero sized files in a torrent were not always created.
-
-btpd 0.11:
-----------
-
-Bug fixes:
-- A file descriptor was closed too early, which could cause btpd to exit
-  with an error message on systems using epoll.
-
-btpd 0.10:
-----------
-
-Misc:
-- The protection mode of the ipc socket can now be specified via the new
-  "--ipcprot" option for btpd.
-
-Bug fixes:
-- The pid file is now written correctly.
-- btpd's "-d" option now works for relative paths too.
-- Add a time out for handshake completion. Prevously btpd could slowly
-  fill with unused incoming connections.
-
-btpd 0.9:
----------
-
-Misc:
-- Small changes to 'btcli stat' output.
-
-Bug fixes:
-- Use correct value for '--prealloc' default.
-- Stopped torrents now show correct rates (0kB/s).
-- The test of content that has been modified between runs was broken.
-
-btpd 0.8:
----------
-
-Misc:
-- btpd now requires pthreads.
-- btpd keeps its logs and other information it needs in its own directory.
-  $HOME/.btpd is the default location.
-- Various changes in btpd options ant btcli use. See '--help'.
-- The user chooses where to place content for each torrent.
-- Better disk IO performance.
-- Configureable disk preallocation to reduce file fragmentation.
-- The unchoke algorithm is global instead of per torrent. The number
-  of peers to upload to is configurable.
-- Tracker errors are displayed in 'btcli stat' and most importantly don't
-  make torrents unload on startup.
-- The rates displayed by btcli are now computed in btpd and are averaged
-  over the last 20 seconds.
-- btpd now compares size and mtime of content to see if the resume file is
-  valid.
-
-Bug fixes:
-- Double uninterest messages could be sent to some peers in endgame mode.
-- A function was called prematurely which could trigger an assert in rare
-  cases.
-
-btpd 0.7:
----------
-
-Bug fixes:
-- Some communication stupidities was fixed, resulting in better download
-  performance.
-
-btpd 0.6:
----------
-
-Misc:
-- Set an upper limit on how much data a peer can request at once.
-  This protects from running out of memory because of a greedy peer.
-- End game is more efficient and uses much less memory.
-
-btpd 0.5:
----------
-
-Bug fixes:
-- The bitfield could be sent too late. This could cause the receiving
-  peer to close the connection.
-
-btpd 0.4:
----------
-
-Misc:
-- The 0.1 rate limiter is back. It runs at a configurable hz now.
-- Added "--bw-hz" option to btpd.
-- Multiple have messages can be sent in place of a bitfield.
-- If btpd can't write to a peer for 60s, it will be disconnected.
-
-Bug fixes:
-- A calculation error made btpd buggy with small torrents.
-  This caused strange crashes and many reports on bad hashes in the log.
-- The bitfield was sent too early. A peer could miss pieces btpd got
-  while the peer was in handshake.
-- Some situations in end game or with bad hashes could cause a crash.
-
-btpd 0.3:
----------
-
-Misc:
-- New download strategy.
-- Pipe ten requests instead of five.
-- "-d" option added to btpd.
-- "--with-warn" option added to configure. The default is now
-  to compile with warnings off.
-
-Bug fixes:
-- It was possible for blocks to remain marked as busy when a peer
-  choked or was lost, causing a piece download to wait until end game.
-- The peer wanted level could get too high during end game.
-
-btpd 0.2:
----------
-
-Misc:
-- A new way to do rate limiting.
-- Compact mode is now used when talking to the tracker.
-
-Bug fixes:
-- A buffer was too small by four bytes, causing a buffer overflow
-  on the heap in certain conditions.
-- An iteration over a list was unsafe and could cause a crash.
-- Unloading a torrent didn't kill peers in handshake for that torrent,
-  and a crash was possible when the handshake finished.
-- The counter for uploaded data was updated too early.
-- Fixed illegal operator for test(1) in configure.
