Release Name: distribustream-0.5.1

Notes:
The DistribuStream team is pleased to announce 
version 0.5.1 of our peer-to-peer streaming media
system.

This release adds support for daemonization.  This
allows the dstream executable to be run in the
background automatically.  You can now elect to run
dstream in the foreground by adding the -f command
line option or by setting daemonize: false in the
config file.

This release also brings major improvements to the
traffic routing algorithm.  A new scoring method is
used to determine which peer should be used for a
given download, incorporating the trust model, bandwidth
modeling, and prefix information.

It also includes improvements in the data structures
used for the traffic routing algorithm, improving
the overall performance of the system.


Changes: Add #score method to peers to compare ideal transfer candidates Convert PDTP::Server::ChunkInfo to store chunk data in RangeMaps Add daemonization support
