rtorrent-0.9.8-v7.0

Version 7.0 Release

This a major new release that provides the option to replace xmlrpc-c with tinyxml2. Tinyxml2 is 2 to 3 times faster for smaller responses and up to 30 times faster for large responses than it's xmlrpc-c counterpart. It is fully compatible with ruTorrent. It results in a significant reduction of in overhead, by eliminating the requirement for xmlrpc-c and it's stack of dependences.

To use simply configure rTorrent --with-xmlrpc-tinyxml2 instead of --with-xmlrpc-c. This will be the default option in the near future!
