 ## Change Log
 
+#### v42.0(2020-05-23)
+
+- `feature`: `ethash` Extend LHR unlocker work with old driver versions. All previous drivers should work until `515.x`.
+- `fix`: `ethash` Improve LHR unlocker stability under Linux.
+- `optimize`: `ethash` small hashrate improvement on Nvidia GPUs.
+- `feature`: Add `GDDR6X` memory temp in summary table for Linux.
+- `feature`: Add `GPU RAM type` and `GPU RAM vendor` in log.
+- `feature`: Add Nvidia driver versoin in summary table.
+- `feature`: If `Overclock` applies through `nbminer`, reset settings to stock when miner exit.
+- `feature`: `-mt` option on windows does not require custom driver anymore (admin priviledge is required).
+- **`NOTE`: NBMiner versions older than v39.5 (not included) will run into issue when ETH reaches `EPOCH 520` (Approx mid September). Please make sure to upgrade to a newer version before that if ETH is still with POW.**
+
 #### v41.5(2022-05-13)
 
 - `feature`: `ethash` Add 90% LHR unlocker for `3080 12G` & `3050`.
