Release Note
------------
This release adds the AdaptiveURISelector from Mandriva
developers. The several BitTorrent options were added: limiting the
number of peers and choosing port randomly from specified range and a
toggle to seed after successful hash check. Hash checking is now done
sequentially rather than simultaneously. HTTP Authorization was also
refined so that now authorization header is sent to the server only
when it is requested(there are some exceptions, see Changes
below). aria2 now returns exit code depending on the last error. All
exit codes are documented in man page. This release also adds
experimental built-in HTTP server which provides the current download
progress in plain html.

Changes
-------
* Changed the default value of --proxy-method option from 'tunnel' to
'get'. Use 'tunnel' for HTTPS regardless of --proxy-method option.
* Added --bt-external-ip option. You can specify the external IP
address to report to a BitTorrent tracker. Although this function is
named 'external', it can accept any kind of IP addresses.
* Applied AdaptiveURISelector-timeout patch from Pascal Rigaux at
Mandriva. I modified the patch: make RequestGroup have the timeout
value and AdaptiveURISelector directly modifies that value.
