This release works just fine on old type. if you are in summer, I would advise setup:
Target Temperature to 50℃ and Overheat Cut Off Temperature to 70℃ (this is my configure)

Also we have more overclock options in this release. just pay more attention on heatsink and PSU when you want do static overclock.

BTW:
Some people report that some fpga controller not working. you may want read this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#Issues
the QFN re-work is not easy, you have to find the professional people doing this. (the ft232 have to clean before soldering again)

Again, please donate to cgminer developers.

Hello Xiangfu,
I tried the new firmware on my late batch #2 machine. In the API log I get: Socket connect failed: Connection refused. Reflashed to 20130703. Working fine again.
Do you think I need to upgrade the FPGA controller firmware? Because I have no clue how to do that... Huh
