+- Titan: unused variables
+- Update knc-asic: Titan FPGA image with spi->i2c commands removed and fixed
+some lock-up scenarios

+- Only rebuild a minimal version.c file when git commit changes
+- Bugfix: Use HASH_ADD_KEYPTR for const char *, not HASH_ADD_STR
+- Bugfix: Re-lock stgd_lock when we don't have a malgo-specific pool to use
+- scrypt: Disable OpenCL by default
+- opencl: Remove support for "OCL1" kernel define (indicated OpenCL 1.1+)
+- opencl: Autodetect whether global offset actually works
+- opencl: Add no-goffset support to scrypt kernels
+- opencl: Determine kernel support for goffset by code analysis

+offsets
+- util: seek_data_cb: Check validity of offset
+- Allow libcurl to rewind the upload buffer
+- cpu: Set the priority of miner threads to idle on Windows

+- cpu: Do not set thread affinity on single-processor systems
+- Adding additional boolean keywords enable and disable
+- AUTHORS: Move Pelle and Vitalii to "Current Maintainers" since they actively
+maintain the Titan driver
+- AUTHORS: Add Ronny Van Keer (Keccak C implementation)
+- Titan: supply its own rolling hashrate implementation
+- A driver can supply its own rolling hashrate function   (in case generic
+rolling hashrate implementation does not work)

+- cpu: fix sched_setaffinity parameter : sizeof(cpu_set_t)
+- Bugfix: opencl: Correctly accept negative intensities and set dynamic
+intensity without changing current value
+- Since longpoll connections are never reused, explicitly forbid reuse so
+libcurl cleans them up immediately
+- Bugfix: Correct already-in-use getcbaddr message
+- Demote some Bitfury debug log messages to only with device protocol dumping

   * Stratum extensions for mining goals: New experimental methods mining.capabilities and mining.set_goal for Stratum allow you to expose control of the mining algorithm to the pool. These extensions are considered draft and may be changed based on the needs of multiblockchain pool operators.
   * RPC: Also extended for multiple mining goals/algorithms. Interface is subject to change.
   * kncasic: New driver for KnCMiner Neptune (and 2nd-gen Jupiter modules).
-  * Titan: Work flushing optimisations from KnCMiner.
+  * minion: New driver for BlackArrow Prospero X1.5.
+  * titan: Work flushing optimisations from KnCMiner, and reduce processor view from per-core to per-die.
   * Keccak: Support for the SHA-3 winner hash as a proof-of-work algorithm.
+  * opencl: Workaround broken global work offset support in buggy drivers.
+  * opencl: GPU mining is now disabled by default for scrypt. Use -S opencl:auto to enable it.
