0.16.12

While this release contains a lot of bug fixes, it's should still be considered \ 
unstable due to extensive changes to multi-threaded tracker handling.

Trackers now handle requests in the tracker thread and UDP requests use just two \ 
open sockets for IPv4/6.

Since all long-time UDP tracker issues have been resolved, trackers.use_udp has \ 
been deprecated. If you need to disable UDP trackers, or HTTP trackers, use \ 
download insert events.

SCGI replies larger than 1000 bytes are now compressed by default.
