libtorrent is an open source C++ library implementing the BitTorrent protocol,
along with most popular extensions, making it suitable for real world
deployment. It is configurable to be able to fit both servers and embedded
devices.
The main goals of libtorrent are to be efficient and easy to use.
See `libtorrent.org`__ for more detailed build and usage instructions.
.. __: http://libtorrent.org
To build with boost-build, make sure boost and boost-build is installed and run:
b2
In the libtorrent root. To build the examples, run ``b2`` in the ``examples``
directory.
See `building.html`__ for more details on how to build and which configuration
options are available. For python bindings, see `the python docs`__.

pull request checklist
......................
When creating a pull request, please consider the following checklist:
* make sure both travis-CI and appveyor builds are green. Note that on gcc and
clang warnings are treated as errors. Some tests may be flapping, if so,
please issue a rebuild of the specific build configuration. (I'm working on
making all tests deterministic)
* If adding a user-facing feature, please add brief entry to ``ChangeLog``
* Add a unit test to confirm the new behavior or feature. Don't forget negative
tests (i.e. failure cases) and please pay as much care to tests as you would
production code.
* rebase on top of master periodically
* if your patch is against the current stable release branch, please also
forward-poret the patch to master (at the time of this writing, automatic
merge in git does not work, possibly because the branch was created in svn)
* if your patch adds a new .cpp file, please make sure it's added to the
appropriate ``Jamfile``, ``Makefile.am`` and ``CMakeList.txt``. If it's adding
a header file, make sure it's added to ``include/libtorrent/Makefile,am``.
