Release news

Version 4.2.0 - TBA

  • Forward-port changes from ckolivas/cgminer up to 3.12.3.

Version 4.1.0 - 7th February 2014

  • Writing configuration file from NCurses interface is broken!
  • Commandline option parsing may be broken!
  • MinGW building may be broken!
  • Bug reporting documentation: doc/BUGS.md.
  • Kernel selection and integration: doc/KERNEL.md.
  • Several updates to other documentation files.
  • Warn if GPU_* environment variables are not set.
  • Maximum intensity lowered to 31 (anything above that gives an overflow anyway).
  • Experimental xintensity setting (by Kalroth), see commit message.
  • Experimental rawintensity setting (by Kalroth), see commit message.
  • -v is now a shorthand for --verbose, not --vectors.
  • Default scantime and expiry changed to 7 and 28 (tests run by MissedOutOnBTC).
  • Increased precision of API_MHS; added API_KHS.
  • Pulled in kernels: alexkarold, alexkarnew, psw, zuikkis; renamed scrypt to ckolivas; all kernels now reside in directory kernel. Kernels can be chosen at startup only, by specifying kernel.
  • Small optimisation to ckolivas kernel (by gdevenyi).
  • Named pools via poolname (by Kalroth).
  • Failover pool switching back delay is configurable via failover-switch-delay (by Kalroth).
  • Pool state: enabled, disabled, and hidden (by Joe4782).
  • Allow all pools to be set disabled.
  • Use RPM in ADL get-fanspeed requests (from bfgminer, by luke-jr).
  • Verbose ADL failure messages (by Joe4782 and deba12).
  • Use git version string if available.
  • Allow bypassing ADL checks during build with --disable-adl-checks.
  • MinGW build checks (by tonobitc).
  • Experimental Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 building support in branch build-msvs2010-upd (by troky).

Version 4.0.0 - 15th January 2014

  • Fork veox/sgminer from ckolivas/cgminer version 3.7.2.
  • Remove code referencing SHA256d mining, FPGAs and ASICS. Leftovers most probably still remain.
  • AMD ADL crash fix on R9 chipsets by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.
  • Maximum allowed intensity increased to 42.
  • Move documentation to directory doc.
  • --gpu-threads support for comma-separated values by Martin Danielsen (Kalroth).
  • AMD ADL SDK 5 mandatory, preparation for ADL Overdrive 6 support by Kalroth.
  • Allow changing TCP keepalive packet idle time using --tcp-keepalive.
  • Automatic library presence detection by configure.
  • --scrypt option removed (no other choice now).
  • --vectors option removed (current kernel only supports 1).
  • Display per-GPU reject percentage instead of absolute values by Kalroth.
  • Do not show date in log by default (switch with --log-show-date).
  • Fix network difficulty display to resemble that of cgminer 3.1.1.
  • Forward-port relevant bugfixes form ckolivas/cgminer, up to cgminer version 3.10.0.
