set to NULL and increases the resolution on windows.

- compile avalon driver on win32 and win64

- Increment hardware error count from the one site.
- Rename scrypt regenhash function for consistency.
- Add new best share info to verbose logging.

- Convert error getting device IDs in ocl code to info log level only since
multiple platforms may be installed and the error is harmless there.
- Unnecessary extra array in ocl code.
- Further driver FAQs.
- Add MAC FAQ.
- Add more FAQ details.
- Check for work restart after disable in the hash queued work loop since it may
be a long time before we re-enable a device.
- Unconditionally test for many wrong results on avalon and reset to avoid
passing a corrupt avalon result to temperature code.
- build out of source dir
- Set device_diff for queued work or there will be no diff1 share count.
- Only reset an avalon device with no results when there are no results
consecutively.
- More FAQs.

- More GPU faqs.
- More README faqs.
- Yet more README faqs.
- Add more faqs to README.
- Merge branch 'master' into avalon-dev
- Wrap result wrong tests in avalon scanhash in unlikely() and only consider a
hash count of zero wrong if a restart wasn't issued.
- avalon: if result_wrong >= get_work_count jump out the read loop
- Fix warning on 32bit.
- Fix warning on 32bit.
- Avoid curl_easy_cleanup on old curl versions in setup_stratum_curl as well.
- fix the fan control on max temp2/3
- for some reason network down. one simple cgminer command: "cgminer -o
127.0.0.1:8888 -O fa:ke --avalon-options 115200:32:10:50:256" can idle the
avalon for safe power and protect chip
- if hash_count == 0; reinit avalon, fix the 0MHS bug use the max value of temp1
and temp2 for fan control
- Reinstate the matching_work_count per subdevice on avalon based on the work
subid.
- Avalon driver is missing the drv_id.
- Rationalise and simplify the share diff and block solve detection to a common
site.
- Rationalise and simplify the share diff and block solve detection to a common
site.
- Make the avalon array size a macro.
- Use replacement of work items in the avalon buffer as needed instead of
flushing them.
- Reinstate wrong work count to reset avalon regardless and display number of
wrong results.
- Revert "The result_wrong measurement for avalon is continually leading to
false positives so remove it."
- select() on serial usb in avalon does not work properly with zero timeout.
- The result_wrong measurement for avalon is continually leading to false
positives so remove it.
- Revert "Use only 2 queued work arrays in avalon."
- Use no timeout on further reads in avalon_gets
- Do sequential reads in avalon_get_reset to cope with partial reads.
- Show read discrepancy in avalon_get_reset.
- Reuse avalon_get_work_count variable.
- Check for AVA_GETS_RESTART when deciding if avalon has messed up.
- Make the detection of all wrong results on avalon much more conservative to
avoid false positives on work restarts.
- Show error codes on select and read fail in avalon.
- If we get a restart message in avalon_gets still check if there's a receive
message to parse first without a timeout before returning AVA_GETS_RESTART.
- Use only 2 queued work arrays in avalon.
- avalon_gets is always called from the one call site so inline it.
- The read_count is unused by the avalon get result code and no longer required
for avalon reset so simplify code removing it.
- Use a separate avalon_get_reset function for resetting avalon instead of using
avalon_get_result.
- The current hash count returned by avalon scanhash is just an obfuscated
utility counter so make it explicit.
- Check for a restart before a timeout in message parsing code in avalon.
- We should check for a restart message before checking for a timeout in avalon
scanhash.

list.

list.
