Summary
Patch release for BitTorrent task-state safety. Updating global BitTorrent policies no longer changes the directory or per-task download limits of existing tasks; those defaults continue to apply to new tasks.
Fixed
- Preserve each existing BitTorrent task's directory and task-specific speed limits when global options are updated.
- Apply only live BitTorrent policy fields to active and reserved tasks; task-owned options remain unchanged.
- Add regression coverage for directory and per-task limit preservation.
- Document the distinction between global defaults and per-task
aria2.changeOptionupdates.
Changed
- Refresh the Aria2 Next project presentation in the README with the current promotional banner.
