  - A completely new downloader which improves performance and
    robustness of downloads. It automatically fails over to alternate
-   servers if the servers that it is using fail or become too slow. It
-   also minimizes unnecessary round trips and unnecessary bytes
-   transferred to improve performance. (#798, #800, #990)
-XXX any other tickets? #809, #287, #447?
- - The command-line now works on 64-bit Windows and now handles
-   non-ASCII command-line arguments and non-ASCII outputs on all
-   versions of Windows. (#1074)
