Version 2.3.0 Version 2.3.0 - February 23, 2012
- Consider extra longpoll work items as staged_extra so as to make sure we queue
more work if queueing regular work items as longpolls.
- Use diablo kernel on all future SDKs for Tahiti and set preferred vector width
to 1 on poclbm kernel only.
- Explicitly type the constants in diakgcn kernel as uint, to be in line with
poclbm kernel.
- Reset all hash counters at the same time as resetting start times to get
accurate hashrates on exiting which is mandatory for benchmarking.
- Report thread out before it starts to avoid being flagged as sick when waiting
for the first work item.
- Don't disable and re-enable devices as they may recover and in the meantime
have their status set to OFF.
- API new commands enablepool and disablepool (version already incremented) - API new commands enablepool and disablepool (version already incremented)
- Tolerate new-format temperature readings - Tolerate new-format temperature readings for bitforce
- Modify cgminer.c pool control to allow API to call it - Modify cgminer.c pool control to allow API to call it
- Bugfix: Fix BitFORCE driver memory leak in debug logging - Bugfix: Fix BitFORCE driver memory leak in debug logging
- Extra byte was being unused and leading to failure on some platforms. - Extra byte was being unused in poclbm leading to failure on some platforms.
