Fix DEAD status by comparing it to last live time rather than +last attempted restart time since that happens every minute. +- Move staged threads to hashes so we can sort them by time. +- Create a hash list of all the blocks created and search them to detect when a +new block has definitely appeared, using that information to detect stale work +and discard it. +- Update configure.ac for newer autoconf tools. +- Use the new hashes directly for counts instead of the fragile counters +currently in use. +- Update to latest sse2 code from cpuminer-ng. +- Allow LP to reset block detect and block detect lp flags to know who really +came first. +- Get start times just before mining begins to not have very slow rise in +average. +- Add message about needing one server. +- We can queue all the necessary work without hitting frequent stales now with +the time and string stale protection active all the time. This prevents a +pool being falsely labelled as not providing work fast enough. +- Include uthash.h in distro. +- Implement SSE2 32 bit assembly algorithm as well. +- Fail gracefully if unable to open the opencl files. +- Make cgminer look in the install directory for the .cl files making make +install work correctly. +- Allow a custom kernel path to be entered on the command line. +- Bump threshhold for lag up to maximum queued but no staged work. +- Remove fragile source patching for bitalign, vectors et. al and simply pass it +with the compiler options. +- Actually check the value returned for the x-roll-ntime extension to make sure +it isn't saying N. +- Prevent segfault on exit for when accessory threads don't exist. +- Disable curl debugging with opt protocol since it spews to stderr. + + Version 1.5.8 - August 23, 2011 - Minimise how much more work can be given in cpu mining threads each interval.
