Algo is the same. But the protocol which miner uses to communicate with pool/wallet daemon is not the same. All other coins use very old code, so no problems with them.
Currently there is no pools or miners supporting this new protocol and personally I doubt they will be available soon, because as far as I know no other altcoins use all these new features. But I should mention that bitcoin supports these features already for 5 years (or at least most of them, still not very familiar with all that stuff).
