Version 2.9.0 - November 6, 2012
- Only retarget stratum shares to new pool diff if diff has dropped.
- Remove resetting of probed variable when detecting GBT.
- Count lost stratum share submits and increase message priority to warning.
- Only retrieve a new block template for GBT pools that are the current pool.
- Show which pool untracked share messages have come from.
- Add management for dead GBT pools.
- Count lost shares with stratum as submit stale lost.
- Discard record of stratum shares sent and report lost shares on disconnection
since they will never be reported back.
- Swab, don't just swap the bytes in the GBT target.
- Change status window message for GBT connected pools versus LP.
- Generate a gbt work item from longpoll when required to set new block and
message appropriately.
- Use existing pool submit_old bool from gbt data.
- Retrieve a new block template if more than 30 seconds has elapsed since the
last one to keep the data current and test the pool is still alive.
- Update GBT longpollid every time we request a new longpoll.
- Manage appropriate response codes for share submission with GBT.
- Allow the longpoll thread to start with GBT and only set the longpollid once.
- Correct last few components of GBT block generation courtesy of Luke-jr.
- Use correct length for offsetting extra nonce and remaining data.
- Flip all 80 bytes in the flip function which was wrongly named flip256 for its
purpose.
- Calculate midstate for gbt work and remove now unused variable.
- Use a standard function for flipping bytes.
- Insert the extra nonce and remaining data in the correct position in the
coinbase.
- Remove txn size debugging and enlarge gbt block string to prevent overflow.
- Remove varint display debugging.
- Build varint correctly for share submission and sleep 5 seconds before
retrying submit.
- Make gbt_coinbase large enough for submissions, swap bytes correctly to make a
header from GBT and encode the number of transactions in share submission.
- Store the fixed size entries as static variables in GBT in binary form,
byteswapping as is required.
- 32 bit hex encoded variables should be in LE with GBT.
- Target and prevblockhash need to be reversed from GBT variables.
- Construct block for submission when using GBT.
- Use same string for debug as for submission and make string larger to cope
with future GBT messages.
- Skip trying to decipher LP url if we have GBT support.
- Store all the transaction hashes in pool->txn_hashes instead of separating
txn0 and correct generation of merkle root, fixing memory overwrites.
- Hook into various places to generate GBT work where appropriate.
- Create extra work fields when generating GBT work.
- Generate header from correct hashing generation of the merkle root for GBT.
- Generate the merkle root for gbt work generation.
- Create a store of the transactions with GBT in the minimum size form required
to generate work items with a varied coinbase.
- Create a function that generates a GBT coinbase from the existing pool
variables.
- Extract and store the various variables GBT uses when decoding gbt work.
- Check for invalid json result in work_decode.
- Decode work in separate functions for getwork vs gbt.
- Check for the coinbase/append mutable in GBT support to decide whether to use
it or not.
- Add a gbt mutex within the pool struct for protecting the gbt values.
- Convert work decode function to prepare for decoding block templates.
- Check for GBT support on first probing the pool and convert to using the GBT
request as the rpc request for that pool.
- Make the rpc request used with getwork a pool variable to allow it to be
converted to/from gbt requests.
- Changes to build prototypes to support building on FreeBSD 9.1-RC2 amd64
- Free old stratum_work data before replacing it
- There is no need for addrinfo any more.
- server and client sockaddr_in are no longer used in struct pool.
- Merge pull request #322 from luke-jr/bugfix_stratum_tmpwork
- Set sshare id and swork_id within the sshare mutex to avoid multiple share
submits with the same id.
- Initialize temporary stratum work
Version 2.8.7 - October 29, 2012
- Fail on select() failing in stratum thread without needing to attempt
