Release Note
This release fixes several bugs. The new functionality is that when
options which is only applicable in waiting state are submitted to an
active download via RPC, the download is now automatically restarted
to reflect the changes. Previously, those options were just ignored.

Restart active download to apply previously not applicable options
Previously, we categorized options that can be used in
aria2.changeOption RPC method into 2 categories. The options in one
category can be applied on the fly, meaning that download continues
to be active while applying options. Another category includes
options which are only applicable when downloads are waiting or
paused.In this change, when active download is ordered to change options
which only applicable in waiting or paused state, it is now paused,
and then automatically restarted. Although we have limited number
of download concurrency, the pause and restart is done atomically,
and the download is inserted at the front of the queue, it is picked
up immediately if the concurrency regulation allows.
