A much requested feature, encryption support, has been added in this
release thanks to a patch by Josef Drexler. After much prodding by me it
finally took a shape I would be willing to commit. This release took a
while as I wanted to let the encryption patch get some testing in addition
to a lot of API changes I wanted to get done for this milestone.

Not to mention I've been stuck in Japan for a couple of months now.
Feeding my manga addic^W^W^W myself has drained my scholarship faster than
I expected, so if you want to repay me for the work on rtorrent, please
consider donating so I won't end up eating instant ramen the whole winter
vacation.
