|
|
|
|
## Version 4.2.0 - TBA
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Adaptive-N-factor algorithm support (by _Bufius_, _Zuikkis_ and
|
|
|
|
|
_veox_). For details on choosing the algorithm, see
|
|
|
|
|
`doc/configuration.md`.
|
|
|
|
|
* Setting pool name with `poolname` is deprecated. Use `name` instead.
|
|
|
|
|
* Allowed kernel names are no longer hard-coded. It is now possible to
|
|
|
|
|
use any `.cl` file.
|
|
|
|
|
* Configuration parameter `poolname` has been renamed to `name`.
|
|
|
|
|
* Multiple `--name` parsing should now work as expected (by _troky_).
|
|
|
|
|
* `--coin` configuration parameter to specify a freeform pool

description (by _troky_).

## Version 4.1.153 - 14th March 2014
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Display pool URL instead of "Pool N" if no `poolname` specified.
|
|
|
|
|
* Incognito mode to hide user name in NCurses interface - useful for
|
|
|
|
|
publishing screenshots. To enable, use `--incognito` on command line,
|
|
|
|
|
`incognito` in config or `[D][I]` in NCurses interface.
|
|
|
|
|
* Support building in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, perhaps other
|
|
|
|
|
versions as well (by _troky_). Documentation in `winbuild/README.txt`.
|
|
|
|
|
* Support building in Cygwin (by _markuspeloquin_). Documentation in
|
|
|
|
|
`doc/cygwin-build.txt`.
|
|
|
|
|
* Forward-port changes from `ckolivas/cgminer` up to 3.12.3.
|
|
|
|
|
* Allow setting `worksize` for kernel `zuikkis`.
|
|
|
|
|
* More log messages in pool handling.
|
|
|
|
|
* Updated `doc/FAQ.md`.
|
|
|
|
|
* Updated `example.conf`.

## 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](https://github.com/veox/sgminer/commit/7aeae40af22e6108aab8b68a229eea25a639d650).
|
|
|
|
|
* Experimental `rawintensity` setting (by _Kalroth_), see
|
|
|
|
|
[commit message](https://github.com/veox/sgminer/commit/d11df698d141988491494aa1f29c7d3595e9712b).
|
|
|
|
|
* `-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.
