 Version 2.3.2 - March 30, 2012
 - Change the preferred vector width to 1 for Tahiti only, not all poclbm
 kernels.
 - Update phatk version number.
 - Use min() function on 2 vector output path in phatk kernel and don't use extra
 variable for both 2 and 4 vectors.
 - Add vector type hint to phatk kernel.
 - Use a time constant 0.63 for when large changes in hashrate are detected to
 damp change in case the large change is an aliasing artefact instead of a real
 chang
 - Only increment stale counter if the detected stales are discarded.
 - Attempt to re-initialise ADL should a device that previously reported fanspeed
 stops reporting it.
 - Move the ADL setup and clearing to separate functions and provide a reinit_adl
 function to be used when adl fails while running.
 - Use slightly more damping on the decay time function in the never-ending quest
 to smooth off the hashmeter.
 - Set the starting fanspeed to a safe and fairly neutral 50% when autofan is
 enabled.
 - Provide locking around updates of cgpu hashrates as well to prevent multiple
 threads accessing data fields on the same device.
 - Display the beginning of the new block in verbose mode in the logs.
 - Reinstate old diablo kernel variable ordering from 120222, adding only goffset
 and vector size hint. The massive variable ordering change only helped one SDK
 on
 - Change the version number on the correct kernels.
 - api.c devicecode/osinfo incorrectly swapped for json
 - Add extensive instructions on how to make a native windows build.
 - Update version numbers of poclbm and diablo kernels as their APIs have also
 changed.
 - Use global offset parameter to diablo and poclbm kernel ONLY for 1 vector
 kernels.
 - Use poclbm preferentially on Tahiti now regardless of SDK.
 - Remove unused constant passed to poclbm.
 - Clean up use of macros in poclbm and use bitselect everywhere possible.
 - Add vector type hint to diablo kernel.
 - Add worksize and vector attribute hints to the poclbm kernel.
 - Spaces for non-aligned variables in poclbm.
 - More tidying of poclbm.
 - Swap Vals and W variables where they can overlap in poclbm.
 - More tidying of poclbm.
 - Tidy up first half of poclbm.
 - Diablo tidy.
 - Absorb as many ZA variables into each other in diablo kernel.
 - Add spaces to new assignments in diablo kernel.
 - Variable assignment alignment in diablo kernel.
 - Clean up use of any() by diablo and poclbm kernels.
 - Minor variable symmetry changes in poclbm.
 - Put additions on separate lines for consistency in poclbm.
 - Consolidate last use of W11 into Vals4 in poclbm.
 - Add last value in vectors in diablo and poclbm kernel for consistency with
 original code.
 - Separate out all additions of different variables in diablo kernel.
 - Separate out additions in final vector code in diablo kernel as well.
 - Get rid of accessory braces.
 - Keep lines that reference the same variable together.
 - Split addition lines without functions.
 - Remove unnecessary braces from diablo kernel.
 - Use the unrolled option for no vectors return code.
 - Convert additions to += in diablo kernel.
 - Reuse variables to decrease total number used in diablo kernel.
 - Strip out unused variables from diablo array.
 - Machine optimise by removing one-use variables.
 - Merge all additions before output.
 - Cluster Vals7 for use on output.
 - Change email due to SPAM
 - api.c miner.php add a '*' to the front of all notify counters - simplifies
 future support of new counters
 - miner.php add display 'notify' command
 - Small change to help arch's without processor affinity
 - Fix bitforce compile error
 - api.c notify should report disabled devices also - of course
 - API returns the simple device history with the 'notify' command
 - code changes for supporting a simple device history
 - api.c Report an OS string in config to help with device issues
 - api.c fix Log Interval - integer in JSON
 - api.c config 'Device Code' to show list of compiled devices + README
 - api.c increase buffer size close to current code allowable limit
 - removed 8-component vector support from kernel, as this is not supported in
 CGMINER anyway
 - forgot to update kernel modification date, fixed ;)
 - reordered an addition in the kernel, which results in less instructions used
 in the GPU ISA code for GCN
 - miner.php: option for readonly or check privileged access
 - Ignore reduntant-with-build options --disable-gpu, --no-adl, and --no-restart
 - miner.php: ereg_replace is DEPRECATED so use preg_replace instead
 - Make curses TUI support optional at compile-time.
 - Bugfix: AC_ARG_WITH provides withval instead of enableval
 - miner.php split devs output for different devices
 - api.c: correct error messages
 - icarus.c modify (regular) timeout warning to only be debug
 - icarus.c set the windows TODO timeout
 - Allow specifying a specific driver for --scan-serial
 - optimized nonce-check and output code for -v 2 and -v 4
 - Bugfix: Check for libudev header (not just library) in configure, and document
 optional dependency
 - Add API support for Icarus and Bitforce
 - Next API version is 1.4 (1.3 is current)
 - README/api.c add "When" the request was processed to STATUS
 - Bugfix: ZLX to read BitFORCE temp, not ZKX -.-
 - Use libudev to autodetect BitFORCE GPUs, if available
 - Use the return value of fan_autotune to set fan_optimal instead of passing it
 as a pointer.
 - Pass the lasttemp from the device we're using to adjust fanspeed in twin
 devices.
 - fix the name to 3 chars, fix the multi-icarus support
 - Bugfix: "-S auto" is the default if no -S is specified, and there is no such
 delay in using it
 - README add information missing from --scan-serial
 - Update README RPC API Version comment
 - Bugfix: Allow enabling CPU even without OpenCL support
 - Change failed-to-mine number of requested shares messge to avoid segfault on
 recursive calling of quit().
 - Get rid of extra char which is just truncated in poclbm kernel.
 - only small code formating changes
 - removed vec_step() as this could lead to errors on older SDKs
 - unified code for generating nonce in kernel and moved addition of base to the
 end -> faster
 Version 2.3.1 - February 24, 2012
 - Revert input and output code on diakgcn and phatk kernels to old style which
