Version 2.10.0 - December 10, 2012
- Include prctl header for thread renaming to work.
- Set tv_idle time if a pool is not active when input from the menu.
- usb display message when device is in use/another cgminer
- libztex: avoid the use of libusb_error_name()
- minor unlikely zero pointer test
- BeaverCreek doesn't like BFI INT patching.
- Only stratum pools that are idle need to be kicked via cnx_needed.
- mmq - abbreviate the temperature numbers
- Do not do any setup if opt_api_listen is disabled in api.c.
- usbutils.c uninitialised usbstat for non-primary mmqs
- Only set the lagging flag for select_pool() on failed getwork if we're not in
opt_fail_only mode.
- libztex: in case the selectFpga() failed set the selected fpga to unknown
- Modified windows-build.txt to update git instructions.
- libztex: use a function for the twice called firmware reset code
- libztex: removed an unused struct member (ztex->valid)
- driver-ztex: support for broken fpga on a multifpga board
- Set the pool lagging flag on startup to avoid it being shown initially, and
only unset it once the maximum number of staged work items has been reached.
- Avoid recursive locking of the stgd lock.
- Return value of keep_sockalive is no longer used.
- Remove dependency on mstcpip.h for windows build by making curl version >=
7.25.0 mandatory on windows builds, and use curl functions for keepalive
whenever possible instead.
- Make main() the getwork scheduler once everything is set up, so that all app
exits use the kill_work and quit paths.
- ztex: more style and whitespace fixes
- libztex: silenced another warning
- Set successful connect to true on auth stratum to allow summary on exit from
single stratum pool.
- Only consider work stale for stratum of different job_id if it's not a share.
- Increment version preempting changed version signifying different codebase to
2.9
- Hash_pop should signal further waiters on its own pthread conditional in case
there are multiple waiters.
- Check the job_id has not changed on stratum work when deciding if the work is
stale as might occur across disconnections.
- Perform pool_resus on getwork pool that generates work in getwork_thread.
- Set pool lagging message for getwork pool that falls to zero staged in getwork
thread.
- Stage extra work when the primary pool is a getwork pool without rolltime.
- Do not try to clean up twice if kill message is given.
- Only recalculate total_staged in getwork thread if required.
- Include the correct config header in libztex and include it before other
includes.
- Implement a completely new getwork scheduler. Stage all work from the one
thread, making it possible to serialise all requests minimising the number of
getworks requested or local work generated. Use a pthread conditional to wake up
the thread whenever work is removed to generate enough work to stay above the
watermark set by opt_queue. Remove all remnants of the old queueing mechanism,
deleting the now defunct queued count.
- libztex: fixed some warnings and removed some whitespaces
- libztex: silenced some warnings
- Remove all references to the now unused workio_cmd structure.
- Remove the old workio command queue thread, replacing it with a kill
conditional to exit the program.
- Remove getwork command from workio_cmd queues and do them directly from
queue_request.
- Begin tearing down the old workio command queues by removing submit commands
from there and submit them asynchronously via their own threads.
- Update windows build instructions.
- Set pool probed to true on successful authorisation with stratum to avoid it
being pinged later with pool_getswork.
- driver-ztex: libztex_setFreq() must be called before ztex_releaseFpga()
- driver-ztex: changed two pairs of malloc()/memset() to calloc()
- libztex: Read bitstream file in 2kb blocks with simpler and faster code
- Added the binary versions of ztex_ufm1_15d4.ihx and ztex_ufm1_15y1.ihx
- Trivial space removal.
- libztex: Add firmware download support for ZTEX 1.15d and 1.15x
- libztex: Factor out local version of libusb_get_string_descriptor_ascii()
- Shut up some boring old cpu warnings.
- Style changes.
- Allow pool active to be called on stratum or disabled pools in the watchpool
thread if the pool has not been probed.
- libztex: Make log messages say bitstream when refering to bitstreams
- libztex: Don't return error when a bitstream was already configured
- libztex: Read bitstream file in 64kb blocks with simpler and faster code
- libztex: Verify that the mining firmware is not a dummy firmware
- libztex: Match mining firmware ZTEX descriptor against the dummy firmware
- Combine shared padding into one char.
- libztex: Start download sequence only after reading in the new firmware
- libztex: Download mining firmware to all devices with dummy firmware
- lock (most of) the threaded statistics updates
- README stats don't add up
- usbutils.c remove compiler warning
- Make need connection return true if a pool is idle.
- API add Best Share to summary
- Check on creating new GBT work if the structures are up to date and update
them as required rather than regularly.
- Update windows build instructions.
- Enable backup stratum connections for getwork when the primary pool doesn't
have longpoll aka solo mining.
- Check for correct absence of opt_fail_only in cnx_needed.
- Remove unused variable.
- The specification for stratum has been elaborated to say that a changed diff
applies only to new work so do not retarget when submitting shares.
- Use a variable length string array in submit_upstream_work to cope with
massive GBT submissions.
- API lock access to some summary statistics (and copy them)
- Suspend stratum connections to backup pools when there is no requirement to
potentially grab work from them.
- Fix missing export for RenameThread.
- enumerate the mining threadnames
- MMQ avoid possible number overrun crashes
- mmq usb v0.4 + api usb stats
- setting the name of the threads for linux,freebsd,openbsd and osx code is
borrowed from bitcoins util.c, so it is already tested
- Don't show broken WU value with scrypt mining.
- Style police.
- Remove unused getwork times in getswork.
- Fix readme wordwrap.
Version 2.9.6 - December 2, 2012
- Make gen_stratum_work more robust by using a dynamically allocated array for
