Strike a balance between code that +re-initialises the GPU entirely so that soft hangs in the code are properly +managed, but if a GPU is completely hung, the thread restart code fails +gracefully, so that it does not take out any other code or devices. This will +allow cgminer to keep restarting GPUs that can be restarted, but continue +mining even if one or more GPUs hangs which would normally require a reboot. +- Add --submit-stale option which submits all shares, regardless of whether they +would normally be considered stale. +- Keep options in alphabetical order. +- Probe for slightly longer for when network conditions are lagging. +- Only display the CPU algo when we're CPU mining. +- As we have keepalives now, blaming network flakiness on timeouts appears to +have been wrong. Set a timeout for longpoll to 1 hour, and most other +network connectivity to 1 minute. +- Simplify output code and remove HW errors from CPU stats. +- Simplify code and tidy output. +- Only show cpu algo in summary if cpu mining. +- Log summary at the end as per any other output. +- Flush output. +- Add a linux-usb-cgminer guide courtesy of Kano. + + Version 1.5.4 - August 14, 2011 - Add new option: --monitor Option lets user specify a command that
