Elden blocked a huge group of miners from using his system because he claims we need a "TML Update"

His mining software says that you need to upgrade to the latest version of TML and it effectively knocked everyone's rigs offline (overnight for most of us I might ad) without any prior notice either on the forum or on his tricone-miners subscription news letter.

So since a lot of people have lost some significant mining time due to this complete act of irresponsibility

my team has done a full analysis of this update and here are their findings:

No Bugfixes found / changes appear to be insignificant

Actual Changes from TML 1.11 to 1.12:
* a bit of whitespace here and there
* changed the default bitstream name from kreisel to leibniz
* fixed a misspelled parameter name in the usage info screen
* changed a couple of copyright headers
* bumped the version number to 1.12

Current Known TML Bugs:
* MakeFile Bug -- still unfixed
* Clocking Bug -- still unfixed
* Bitstream Upload Bug -- still unfixed


I am sorry elden but if you want people to feel secure using a centralized proprietary system like this you really need to do things in a way to increase our confidence and surprising us in the middle of the night by inexplicably taking down our mining rigs for no apparent reason is not a good way to do that.
