From: Luke-Jr
Subject: BFGMiner 3.2.0 released
Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 02:16:05 +0000
User-agent: KMail/1.13.7 (Linux/3.10.9-gentoo; KDE/4.10.5; x86_64; ; )

NEW VERSION 3.2.0, AUGUST 30 2013

This release is the first of a new stable-focused 3.2.x branch. Many new 
improvements have been added, plus a merge from cgminer 3.4.0. BFGMiner 3.1.x 
is now discontinued, but bugfixes have been backported to 3.0.7 and 2.10.13.

Human readable changelog:
- modminer, x6500 & ztex: Completely removed bitstreams from BFGMiner
  distribution, and replaced with instructions on where to find them
  officially. OpenWrt users should note that the repositories still include
  packages, but under new names.
- New embedded getwork server to drive Block Erupter Blades and similar
  devices off BFGMiner. Instructions in README.ASIC. Currently not included in
  OpenWrt or Windows binaries.
- Fixed stratum pool-switch crash regressed in BFGMiner 3.1.0.
- Added stratum support for --request-diff by attempting to send a
  mining.suggest_target notification to pools when connecting.
- erupter & icarus: Various optimizations to catch racing nonces, and
  otherwise reduce hardware errors.
- Enable simple notifications for idle/sick/dead devices via --cmd-idle,
  --cmd-sick and --cmd-dead options that execute commands when the events
  occur.
- Support for probing/hotplugging new devices from the TUI ([M]anage, plus
  key).
- Simple multicast RPC detection.
- Imported Aaron D. Gifford's fast SHA256 implementation (used for share
  validation on CPU).
- Due to random font issues, Unicode is disabled by default. Use --unicode to
  enable it.
