v8.0.0

rqbit v8.0.0

Why a major release? Lots of merged PRs since v7.0.1, minor breaking changes in librqbit API and CLI naming.
Other than that, it's a checkpoint to release all the work by many contributors.

Breaking changes

• Minimal Rust version bumped from 1.75 to 1.78
• CLI parameters changes:
  • renamed disable-upnp -> disable-upnp-port-forward
  • removed upnp-server-hostname
  • added enable-upnp-server
• librqbit API changes: if any, they are minor, but might be some depending on usage. All should be easy to fix just by resolving compilation errors.

UI features

• There's a banner in the bottom showing total up/down speed and uploaded/downloaded bytes since restart
• Upload multiple files through UI

Some Other features

• upload/download rate limits
• watching a directory for .torrent files and adding them automatically (usage in #237)
• Improved UPNP server support. Now works on some Samsung TVs, and should be more reliable overall.

HTTP API changes

• /playlist URLs
• basic auth support (see #279 for usage)

BitTorrent protocol features

• BEP-47 padding files
• BEP-53 select only files from magnet
• BEP-11 Peer EXchange
