[Libtorrent-devel] libTorrent 0.7.3 and rTorrent 0.3.3 released

[Jari Petter Sundell]

* Proper fix for alignment bugs, use --enable-aligned if the automatic 
check doesn't work on your platform.

* Refactored chunk management making it cleaner and simpler. This will 
make it easier to fix some msync related bugs and use some more complex 
disk access/store behavior.

* For every new peer connection the client would spend time counting the 
set bits in the local bitfield. This was previously cached and was causing 
a significant resource usage.

* Added PeerConnectionSeed class that is used for seeder connections. It 
fixes some design faults in the original PeerConnection and should use 
significantly less resources. When it is deemed stable it will be forked 
to create the new leeching connection.

This release is likely to be a bit unstable due to the new chunk 
management and seeder connection class. Expect to see new lows on resource 
usage with this release, especially when seeding. (Naah, that's not 
possible)

Hmm... why am i using different version numbers...
