## Master
* Added support for animecoin, darkcoin, fuguecoin, groestlcoin, inkcoin,
marucoin, myriadcoin-groestl, quarkcoin, qubitcoin, sifcoin, twecoin,
darkcoin-mod ("X11-mod" kernel), maxcoin (by mrbrdo).
* intensity, xintensity, rawintensity, gpu-memclock, gpu-engine,
thread-concurrency, gpu-threads now also have a `pool-*` version to
configure them for each pool separately (by mrbrdo).
* Extranonce support for stratum (by bitbandi).
## Version 4.2.1 - 22nd May 2014 ## Version 4.2.1 - 22nd May 2014
* Fixed MSVS building, tested with MSVC++ 2010 and 2013 (by _troky_). * Fixed MSVS building, tested with MSVC++ 2010 and 2013 (by _troky_).
