update to BitTorrent 4.0.1

2005-03-25: 4.0.1 is now available.
Changes since the last stable release:
- Possible workaround for the "TCP stack flaking out" bug as a preference.
- Preference option for the text color over the progress bar.
- Fixed problem picking config file and save locations on Win98/ME.
- Switched to GTK file save widgets to fix the problem of resuming multi-file
  torrents.
- Bulk traffic flag was only being set on incoming connections.
- Some tweaks to the interface and more informative error messages.
- Fixes to installer, including location fixes for non-English users.
- Fix for interface lockups after being minimized.
- Fixed a couple tracebacks.
_ A few small tracker bugs fixed.
- An item which belonged in the previous notes: Improvments to seed behaviour
  which addresses the problem for which super-seeding was created, but without
  the problems of super-seeding.

2005-03-07: 4.0.0 is now available.
Changes since the last stable release:
- All new queue-based user interface
- Many options are now modifiable from the interface, including upload rate
- Lots of other interface improvements
- Extra stats are visible, for those who like it
- Remembers what it was doing across restarts
_ New .torrent maker "btmaketorrentgui" replaces "btcompletedir"
- Better performance, as always
- License has changed to the BitTorrent Open Source License
- Torrent fields are correctly created and interpreted as utf8
- Too many little things to list

A few technical notes, for those interested:
- Single port: launchmany can seed and client can download many files from a
  single port and thread
- Interface now uses GTK instead of wxWidgets
- BitTorrent packets are marked as bulk data to make traffic shaping easier

2005-01-22: 3.9.1 beta is now available.
