New release - 2.7.0, August 18th 2012

First time I've upgraded since 2.5.4 I think.

Everything is working as advertised.

Three things I noticed that I thought I'd mention:

- On both my miners, one with 4 GPUs, and one with 3, initially on startup the highest number one (lowest on the list) shows a massive amount of work done compared to the others, like 10x as much.  They eventually balance out, but on startup it is unbalanced.

- Failover is working much better.  I run two copies of p2pool on two different machines for backup purposes.  The backup would almost always get a very small amount of work from the miners.  Now the backup is getting zero, like its supposed to.

- Just for fun I tried changing the intensity to dynamic.  I normally run it at 8 for my 7970s.  Every GPU I tried it on, cgminer would change it to 7 and it wouldn't move from there.  Wouldn't say D, it would say 7.  I ended up changing them all to 9, which before caused problems, but now it works and increases output.  10 just jacks up CPU usage with no perceptible increase in hash rate.

As usual, great work.  I just send 2 long over due coins your way..
Thanks for feedback and much more for the donation Wink

Startup GPU difference is just luck variance showing up. Perfectly normal.

Glad to hear failover works better.

Dynamic will show the "chosen" current intensity, which for an awesome 7970 works out to about 7. Perfectly normal. (shame it only works properly on linux it seems).
