 Version 2.9.0 - November 6, 2012
 - Only retarget stratum shares to new pool diff if diff has dropped.
 - Remove resetting of probed variable when detecting GBT.
 - Count lost stratum share submits and increase message priority to warning.
 - Only retrieve a new block template for GBT pools that are the current pool.
 - Show which pool untracked share messages have come from.
 - Add management for dead GBT pools.
 - Count lost shares with stratum as submit stale lost.
 - Discard record of stratum shares sent and report lost shares on disconnection
 since they will never be reported back.
 - Swab, don't just swap the bytes in the GBT target.
 - Change status window message for GBT connected pools versus LP.
 - Generate a gbt work item from longpoll when required to set new block and
 message appropriately.
 - Use existing pool submit_old bool from gbt data.
 - Retrieve a new block template if more than 30 seconds has elapsed since the
 last one to keep the data current and test the pool is still alive.
 - Update GBT longpollid every time we request a new longpoll.
 - Manage appropriate response codes for share submission with GBT.
 - Allow the longpoll thread to start with GBT and only set the longpollid once.
 - Correct last few components of GBT block generation courtesy of Luke-jr.
 - Use correct length for offsetting extra nonce and remaining data.
 - Flip all 80 bytes in the flip function which was wrongly named flip256 for its
 purpose.
 - Calculate midstate for gbt work and remove now unused variable.
 - Use a standard function for flipping bytes.
 - Insert the extra nonce and remaining data in the correct position in the
 coinbase.
 - Remove txn size debugging and enlarge gbt block string to prevent overflow.
 - Remove varint display debugging.
 - Build varint correctly for share submission and sleep 5 seconds before
 retrying submit.
 - Make gbt_coinbase large enough for submissions, swap bytes correctly to make a
 header from GBT and encode the number of transactions in share submission.
 - Store the fixed size entries as static variables in GBT in binary form,
 byteswapping as is required.
 - 32 bit hex encoded variables should be in LE with GBT.
 - Target and prevblockhash need to be reversed from GBT variables.
 - Construct block for submission when using GBT.
 - Use same string for debug as for submission and make string larger to cope
 with future GBT messages.
 - Skip trying to decipher LP url if we have GBT support.
 - Store all the transaction hashes in pool->txn_hashes instead of separating
 txn0 and correct generation of merkle root, fixing memory overwrites.
 - Hook into various places to generate GBT work where appropriate.
 - Create extra work fields when generating GBT work.
 - Generate header from correct hashing generation of the merkle root for GBT.
 - Generate the merkle root for gbt work generation.
 - Create a store of the transactions with GBT in the minimum size form required
 to generate work items with a varied coinbase.
 - Create a function that generates a GBT coinbase from the existing pool
 variables.
 - Extract and store the various variables GBT uses when decoding gbt work.
 - Check for invalid json result in work_decode.
 - Decode work in separate functions for getwork vs gbt.
 - Check for the coinbase/append mutable in GBT support to decide whether to use
 it or not.
 - Add a gbt mutex within the pool struct for protecting the gbt values.
 - Convert work decode function to prepare for decoding block templates.
 - Check for GBT support on first probing the pool and convert to using the GBT
 request as the rpc request for that pool.
 - Make the rpc request used with getwork a pool variable to allow it to be
 converted to/from gbt requests.
 - Changes to build prototypes to support building on FreeBSD 9.1-RC2 amd64
 - Free old stratum_work data before replacing it
 - There is no need for addrinfo any more.
 - server and client sockaddr_in are no longer used in struct pool.
 - Merge pull request #322 from luke-jr/bugfix_stratum_tmpwork
 - Set sshare id and swork_id within the sshare mutex to avoid multiple share
 submits with the same id.
 - Initialize temporary stratum work
 Version 2.8.7 - October 29, 2012
 - Fail on select() failing in stratum thread without needing to attempt
