MINERS
⛏ lolMiner v1.41b
* re-wrote the complete HTTPS connection stack in the TON pool connector, so the connections can be reused for a significant lower load on the pools; 
* improved performance of Nvidia TON kernels, especially significant on Turing based GPUs; 
* added experimental TON kernels for Nvidia Fermi and first generation Kepler GPUs;
* altered fee pools of TON to distribute better to different mirrors to reduce load on single ones; 
* implemented a system that can detect connection blocking in TON and will automatically choose alternative mirrors for the known TON pools in case of problems;
* users on toncoinpool.io stratum mode --ton-mode 3 can now specify a worker name via --worker or by adding a worker name to their wallet separated by a dot. Other TON mining pool protocols will ignore both, because most pools do not accept worker names send; 
* several bugs fixed

MINERS
⛏ lolMiner v1.40
* improved performance of TON solvers by up to 1.5% depending on your GPU
* lowered TON miner fee to 1.5% --> 1%
* increased TON https mining polling interval for less server load
* improved blocking preventing mechanisms lolMiner can now communicate with stratums using websockets starting with "wss://"
* significantly improved TON mining pool compatibility
* added a new parameter --ton-mode to toggle between modes
* Bug fixes:
   - fixed a bug with TON https polling causing random crashes on some machines
   - fixed a bug with TON: defect shares were not displayed in stats overview
   - fixed a bug with TON OpenCL back end: miner did trigger watchdog when a GPU was halted and waiting for work

MINERS
⛏  lolMiner v1.39
* added support for mining TON/Toncoin, devfee is 1.5%, AMD cards since GCN1 via OpenCL and Nvidia cards since Maxwell and newer generation via CUDA are supported; 
* added support for mining UBQ/Ubiq, devfee is 0.7% as with all Ethash based coins; 
* added support for routing your stratum traffic through a socks5 proxy server, use --socks5 to enable it; 
Fixes: 
- added a timeout for DOH requests, so they can no longer hang indefinitely; 
- fixed ethash support for RX 5500 series GPUs on more recent drivers
