+Version 3.8.4 - 1st December 2013
+
+- Deprecate the usb usecps function and just split up transfers equal to the
+maxpacketsize on usb1.1 devices.
+- Retry sending after successfully clearing a pipe error.
+- Drop logging of timeout overrun message to verbose level.
+- Use a much longer callback timeout for USB writes on windows only as a last
+resort since cancellations work so poorly.
+- Use vcc2 in bflsc voltage displayed.
+- Increment per core errors on false nonces in bflsc and add per core statistics
+to api stats, removing debugging.
+- Store a per-core nonce and hw error count for bflsc.
+- Fix json parsing in api.c
+- Add debugging to hfa driver for how many jobs are being sent.
+- Shut down the hfa read thread if the device disappears.
+- Add debug output saying what frame command is being sent in hfa driver.
+- Revert "Disable USB stats which were not meant to be enabled by default and
+add extra memory for a memory error when stats are enabled."
+- Reset work restart flag in hfa driver since we may check for it again in
+restart_wait.
+- Add more op usb init errors for hfa driver.
+- Perform basic displaying of hfa notices received.
+- Add hfa op usb notice macros.
+- Update hf protocol header.
+- Use sync usb transfers in lowmem mode.
+- Go back to allowing timeout errors on USB writes to be passed back to the
+driver without removing the device in case the driver wishes to manage them.
+- Initialise more values for the hfa data structures.
+- A USB control error must be < 0
+- Simplify USB NODEV error checking to success only for writes and control
+transfers, and success and timeout for reads.
+- libusb error IO should be fatal as well if it gets through usb read and write.
+- Allow IO errors in usb reads/writes to be ignored up to retry max times.
+- Use correct padding for bxf temperature display.
+- Initialise devices before attempting to connect to pools to allow their thread
+prepare function to be called before having to connect to pools.
+- Add hidden hfa options to set hash clock, group ntime roll and pll bypass,
+fixing frame sent on reset to include extra data.
+- Relax the timeouts for the slower usb devices on linux.
+- Add big endian hf protocol header to Makefile
+- Check for correct big endian macro in hf_protocol
+- Use an absolute timeout in hfa_get_header to cope with buffered usb reads
+returning instantly confusing the 200ms counter.
+- Update hfa_detect_one to use the new detect function API.

 Version 3.8.3 - 23rd November 2013
 
 - Set the bitfury device start times from when we first get valid work.
