New features and improvements for this release
========================================================================================

- Switching to pyWin32 214.

- Improvement in the timeout for standby torrent : Till now this timeout would trigger
  if the time elapsed from the last sharing opportunity would exceed the value set in
  the preferences.
  Now this timeout also takes into account the last time the torrent uploaded or
  downloaded, to prevent a standby torrent from cyclically and endlessly awakening to
  try to upload data to a peer connected with some files set to "Never download", which
  can't be achieved because this peer will never complete its data.

- Improvements in the handling of multi-tracker torrents :
    * By default a scraping stopped multi-tracker torrent will first try to scrape with
      the last tracker it successfullly connected with.
      If there is no such tracker or if this tracker doesn't answer the torrent will
      search for the first alive tracker from its internal list.
      You can force the scanning of all trackers without prioritizing the last 
      successfully connected tracker by holding down the control key while triggering
      scraping.
      You can invert this behaviour by setting the ctrlscraperescanstrackers parameter
      in abc.conf to 0 instead of 1.
    * A starting torrent now tries to connect with the tracker it successfully
      previously scraped with, if any.


========================================================================================
Minor improvements for this release
======================================================================================== 

- You can choose if all the sub-group checkboxes in a multi-torrent parameter dialog are
  switched on or off by default when the dialog opens, by setting the parameter
  multiparamdefault in abc.conf to 1 or 0.
