new 3D tools palette lets you rotate and zoom the 3D view. 3D Options have been moved there.
IP addresses can now be selected and copied to the clipboard, inside the Peers view.

endgame was so-so in 105 and seems to be real nice now.
when rechecking hash, the available pieces weren't re-sorted resulting in 0 piece being downloaded.
crash when updating the validated graph.
removed a couple deadlocks.
crash in race condition.
visual artefacts while checking hash in 3D swarm view.
tidying up multi-threading.
Memory leak when stopping torrents. Another leak with outgoing connexions.

Many fixes here and there.
