The locale files are now always installed and not only if a Python
interpreter named "python" is available for whatever reasons.
This fixes PR pkg/42691 by Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert.
Also enable the enable_bad_libc_workaround by default for NetBSD,
FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Darwin.
Changes in this release:
- Identify trackerless torrent files
- Not saving pause/play state across invocations of the GUI
- Small fixes to windows installer and corrupt config file recovery
- A number of small bug fixes
promptly when redirecting onto a file. This has been reported to the
upstream maintainers.
PKGREVISION++ in Makefile.common. This affects bittorrent-gui because
it uses the same PATCHDIR, even though the new patch doesn't change
that package. It seems awkward to try to manage PKGREVISION
separately for packages built from the same tarball, and of little
benefit.
Changes in this release:
- Opening a torrent that is already open in the GUI now has the correct behavior rather than
raising an error
- Backported --chop_max_allow_in from 4.1 to help fix TCP stack flaking out problem on Windows

- Better error messages when a torrent already meets seeding limits
- File filters

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.

_ A few small tracker bugs fixed.

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:
