+BFGMiner Version 5.4.0 - October 23, 2015
+
+- AUTHORS: Move jstefanop to current maintainers
+- Disable alchemist by default, add Travis build, and document configure option
+in README
+- alchemist: New scrypt ASIC driver
+- hashfast: Support setting clock speed from TUI Manage
+- avalon: Support setting clock speed from TUI Manage
+- antminer: Support setting clock speed from TUI Manage (hidden for non-BM1382/4
+devices)
+- jingtian: Allow changing clock speed from TUI
+- Debuglog for retrodiff being disabled
+- Disable retrodiff when it was not explicitly enabled, and the pool doesn't
+seem to like it
+- Bugfix: Only adjust work_difficulty on retrodiff submissions, so we can still
+detect them on rejection
+- (Re-)enable retrodiff by default for stratum pools, since some servers
+implement mining.set_difficulty wrong in this way
+- New pool option "retrodiff"
+- If a share passes difficulty check for the updated pool target,   record that
+target for correct accounting of diff_stale.
+- DevAPI: Remove unused temporary variable from driver iteration
+- README.ASIC: Expand Antminer S5 section to S1-S5 for completeness, since in
+theory they should work
+- bitmain: Make reg_data optional for S4 and S5, calculating it from clock
+- Document Bitmain Antminer S5 support
+- bitmain: Remove poll_prio_threshold and just ensure we poll at a regular
+interval to avoid nonce buffer overruns
+- bitmain: Remove dead per-device constants
+- bitmain: Only have one set of actual maximums
+- bitmain: Migrate BITMAIN_MAX_NONCE_NUM to runtime packet_max_nonce
+- bitmain: Migrate BITMAIN_MAX_WORK_QUEUE_NUM/bitmain_work_poll_prio to runtime
+poll_prio_threshold
+- bitmain: Migrate BITMAIN_MAX_WORK_NUM to runtime packet_max_work
+- bitmain: Dummy model parameter
+- bitmain: Remove baud/flush, as the fake VCOM kernel driver ignores (and
+complains about) both
+- bitmain: Poll after queuing work, once enough is queued
+- bitmain: Sleep a little between polling
+- bitmain: Flush queues for work restarts
+- bitmain: Queue multiple works at a time
+- bitmain: Remove more dead code
+- bitmain: Prune old work eventually
+- Bugfix: bitmain: Properly count work-search failures as HW errors
+- bitmain: Refactor to work with minerloop_queue (leaks work memory)
+- bitmain: Avoid busy-looping on network devices
+- bitmain: Support for talking to a device over the network
+- bitmain: Use the hottest reading for device temperature
+- Bugfix: bitmain: Actually use baud setting
+- bitmain: Remove more dead code
+- bitmain: Handle stale results normally
+- bitmain: Simplify num2bit
+- bitmain: Initial set-device based configuration
+- bitmain: Use lowl-vcom abstractions
+- Update copyrights
+- Bugfix: bitmain: Type-safe printf-format usage
+- Travis: Test bitmain-only build
+- Build bitmain driver
+- bitmain: Hardcode configuration for now
+- bitmain: Rework nonce_diff handling
+- bitmain: Update headers
+- bitmain: Deal with unused variable warnings sanely
+- bitmain: Explicitly de-const device_path for freeing

+- Bugfix: bitmain: Clear opt_bitmain_dev string properly
+- bitmain: Remove non-existent bitmain_detect parameter
+- bitmain: Cleanup unnecessary code
+- bitmain: Use uthash to find queued work
+- bitmain: Implement inc_dev_status within record_temp_fan
+- bitmain: Remove non-applicable limits
+- bitmain: Remove obsolete get_statline_before function
+- bitmain: Move g_miner_version to bitmain_info struct

+- bitmain: Replace custom hexdump with normal bin2hex
+- bitmain: Get network difficulty from first work task
+- bitmain: No-op htole8
+- bitmain: Simulate cgminer work_block somewhat
+- bitmain: Update bin2hex usage for malloc-free version
+- bitmain: Copy low-level code from Bitmain cgminer usbutils
+- Copy working driver-bitmain.c from Bitmain's cgminer at commit
+4ecf89341657ea7efecdf588586ca3f068ab17ab
+- Add api_add_percent to miner.h
+- Bugfix: DevAPI: Update includes from uthash to utlist and support older
+versions of uthash
+- Bugfix: RPC: Need to include utlist.h for config file list
+- Bugfix: antminer: Avoid NULL dereference for non-BM1382/4 devices
+- README.ASIC: Update documentation for BM1382/4 clock calculation support

+- RPC: Add "Rotate Period" to config
+- RPC: Extend setconfig to change strategy
+- Allow setting strategy by name
+- bitforce: Enable changing voltage from the Manage TUI
