+BFGMiner Version 2.6.5 - August 20, 2012
+
+- API new command 'coin' with mining information
+- Add message to share if it's a resubmit.
+- Add virtual adl mapping for when none is specified on the command line to
+not crash without a map specified.
+- Fix ADL gpu-map not working when there are more ADL devices than openCL.
+Patch supplied and tested by Nite69.
+- bitforce: Initial import of Linux-only bitforce-firmware-flash utility
+- Revert stale-on-arrival failsafe, since it ends up needing exceptions for
+everything
+- Bugfix: opencl: Declare opencl_dynamic_cleanup in header
+- Even if we want to submit stale shares, give up if we have more submissions
+waiting on threads (even before failing)
+- Even if we want to submit stale shares, give up if they've failed and we
+have more submissions waiting on threads
+- opencl: Use timeBeginPeriod on Windows to ensure gettimeofday has sufficient
+precision for dynamic intensity
+- Bugfix: opencl: Move ADL fanspeed warning messages to a new thread to get
+around summary-update deadlocking
+- README: Note that user groups don't get updated until re-login
+- Initialise cnt in libztex.c
+- Don't try to start devices that don't support scrypt when scrypt mining.
+- Repeating on timeout in ztex could make the code never return.
+- Offset libusb reads/writes by length written as well in ztex.
+- Cope with timeouts and partial reads in ztex code.
+- If there are more devices than nDevs, don't iterate over them as they may
+overwrite devices mapped below that with the mapping option.
+- Fix README faq on bfl auto-detect.
+- Set memory clock based on memdiff if present from with engine changes,
+allowing it to parallel manual changes from the menu as well.
+- api.c typo
+- API allow display/change failover-only setting
+- API-README corrections
+- miner.php documentation (in API-README) v0.1
+- Bugfix: opencl: Show blank device-info statline area if GPU doesn't have
+ADL, to fix column alignment
+- README: Document usage of 0 to indicate "leave at default" for comma-
+delimited GPU options
+- Correct API-README versions to match when BFGMiner included them
+- API-README update changelog
+- Minimise locking and unlocking when getting counts by reusing shared mutex
+lock functions.
+- Avoid getting more work if by the time the getwork thread is spawned we find
+ourselves with enough work.
+- The bitforce buffer is cleared and hw error count incremented on return from a
+failed send_work already so no need to do it within the send_work function.
+- Don't make mandatory work and its clones last forever.
+- modminer: Log debug info for nonces found

+bfgminer (2.6.5-0precise1) precise; urgency=low
+
+  * New BitFORCE firmware flash utility. When compiled with BitFORCE support, run `bitforce-firmware-flash` to get usage.
+  * Fixed hanging when using "Switch User" on Windows. This feature still kills ADL, though, so use --no-restart (and don't enable fan control or overclocking) if you plan to use it.
+  * Fixed dynamic mode on Windows. By default, Windows timer resolution is only 15ms and we're trying to sample much smaller than that. This was leading to the time taken to do GPU work appearing as zero for many samples. Now, a Windows multimedia timing API will be used to request more precision.
+  * gpu-memdiff should now take effect when you change gpu engine clock from the menu as well.
+  * The ADL gpu-map feature should work now when you have more ADL devices than OpenCL (eg, ATI cards that don't support OpenCL).
+  * More tweaks to the queueing mechanism to increase efficiency and keep minirigs fully work laden.
+  * Failover-only can now be changed via the RPC API.
+  * Updated miner.php from Kano

   * More drastic improvements to ModMiner clock adjustment algorithm. Downclocking should be more conservative, and BFGMiner will even raise the clock speed when it's doing well.
