- added ability to use environment variables in "epools.txt" and "config.txt" files. For example, define "WORKER" environment varibale and use it as "%WORKER%" in config.txt.

anyone ?
what is the use of this ?
You can set environment variables in Windows, then use in config.  So you can have identical config for all your rigs, since they could pull worker name from environment.  You can also do this through ethman when uploading configs to rigs.  You could also run all rigs off same network share, making it really easy to update all rigs, and change config, since each would still have it's own worker.  Downside of this is logs would all be in same folder so would be useless for troubleshooting.
It takes me 3+ hrs to update all my rigs to new version when Claymore announces it, so with this I can do it all at once ?
