What is the difference between USB-Blaster and USB-Blaster II?

What is the difference between USB-Blaster and USB-Blaster II? What embedded USB-Blaster ( USB-Blaster or USB-Blaster II ) is installed in Cyclone IV GX FPGA Development Kit?

No. USB-Blaster II is only available as embedded function of some newer development kits, not as a programming cable. I guess, Altera will switch sometime to an USB-Blaster II cable, but not yet.
