libtorrent-rasterbar for Debian
-------------------------------

* libtorrent-rasterbar 0.14.2-2

Revert build dependencies to boost1.37 only.

* libtorrent-rasterbar 0.14.2-1

Enabled building against boost1.37 due to the boost library transition: build
dependencies will be updated each time a new version of boost get uploaded in
Debian (this will happen likely two times a year in the future).
Building against boost1.34.1 is still supported for backport purposes.

* libtorrent-rasterbar 0.14.1-1

While version 0.14 was built against boost1.36, it seems like this release of
the boost libraries has been deleted from Debian and maintainers encourage use
of the next stable release boost1.37.
Anyhow, the best choice actually is to build 0.14.1 against boost1.34.1 because
it is a widely used and well tested release, and on the other hand maybe
libtorrent-rasterbar is not yet ready to support boost1.37.

* libtorrent-rasterbar 0.14-1

- Python bindings for libtorrent-rasterbar
Added a patch (merged upstream, will be available in 0.14.1) to build python
bindings using configure and make. The name of the python module (and package)
is 'python-libtorrent' (as requested by upstream).

- Lintian Info tag 'no-symbols-control-file'
Maintaining a symbols control file for that library is more a cost than a
benefit. In fact, libtorrent-rasterbar exports a lot of symbols (quite big
symbols files, ~600Kb) and the C++ ABI mangling requires one to maintain a
different control file for each architecture.  Moreover this library has a few
reverse dependencies (less than 10 clients, much of them not yet packaged for
Debian), so it wouldn't be difficult to maintain them.

* libtorrent-rasterbar 0.13.1-2

Building a debug version (--enable-debug) of libtorrent-rasterbar seems to
cause some clients to crash (such as qbittorrent, btg - qbittorrent needs a
special option in order to build against a debug version), and actually most
clients upstream developers seems to prefer a release build of the library.

Then, now libtorrent-rasterbar builds a release version (--disable-debug).

NOTE for maintainers of all clients which depend on libtorrent-rasterbar:
please build-depends on this exact revision of the package in your
debian/control file:
  Build-Depends: libtorrent-rasterbar-dev (>= 0.13.1-2)

* libtorrent-rasterbar 0.13.1-1

Actually, libtorrent-rasterbar has to be built against boost-1.34 and libasio
instead of boost-1.35 (which includes libasio and conflicts with version 1.34);
this is for compatibility with most bittorrent clients which depend also on
boost-1.34.
