+  * Scrypt mining does not support block testing yet so don't try to print it.
+  * Clear the bitforce buffer whenever we get an unexpected result as it has
+    likely throttled and we are getting cached responses out of order, and use the
+    temperature monitoring as a kind of watchdog to flush unexpected results.
+  * It is not critical getting the temperature response in bitforce so don't
+    mandatorily wait on the mutex lock.
+  * Check there is a cutoff temp actually set in bitforce before using it as a cut
+    off value otherwise it may think it's set to zero degrees.
+  * We dropped the temporary stopping of curl recruiting on submit_fail by
+    mistake, reinstate it.
+  * Make threads report in either side of the scanhash function in case we miss
+    reporting in when restarting work.
+  * Don't make mandatory work and its clones last forever.
+  * Make test work for pool_active mandatory work items to smooth out staged work
+    counts when in failover-only mode.
+  * Add debugging output when work is found stale as to why.
+  * Print the 3 parameters that are passed to applog for a debug line in
+    bitforce.c
+  * Clear bitforce buffer on init as previously.
+  * Add some headroom to the number of curls available per pool to allow for
+    longpoll and sendwork curls.
+  * Revert "Revert "Change BFL driver thread initialising to a constant 100ms
+    delay between devices instead of a random arrangement.""
+  * Revert "Remove bitforce_thread_init"
+  * Show the correct base units on GPU summary.
+  * Differentiate between the send return value being a bool and the get return
+    value when managing them in bitforce scanhash.
+  * 23a8c60 Revert "bitforce: Skip out of sending work if work restart requested"
