A new version of the miner is available; I've updated the download link on the first post, or you can get it here:
guiminer-20110614.exe (self-extracting archive)
Changes:
- Slush's pool moved from mining.bitcoin.cz to api.bitcoin.cz. If any miners on slush's pool cannot connect, you should delete and re-create the worker to make sure it's using the new address.
- Add CPU affinity support, meaning miners can be assigned to a specific CPU core. Users seeing the 100% CPU usage when mining with OpenCL due to buggy drivers can reduce their CPU usage by allowing the miner to only run on a specific core.
- Fix error about missing logo.ico.
- New Italian translation, big thanks to MasterHunterHD for contributing this.
Thanks to all other translators who submitted updated translations to me, I'm afraid I added even more text in this version for you.
For everyone asking about Linux support: for the adventurous you can try running it from source on GitHub. The only thing stopping me now is finding a nice way to install it; it doesn't seem like I can nicely bundle everything together in an EXE like I do on Windows. Maybe I can somehow include it with LinuxCoin (though I don't know what that is right now). Any Linux gurus that could help me out with this would be appreciated
For everyong asking about restarting support: I was thinking of doing it so if there were no accepted shares in X minutes (X being configurable per miner) it would restart the miner.
For switching to a backup pool support: just using the -f flag to set priorities as described in the FAQ works just fine for me. I don't particularly want to do something elaborate unless there's a convincing case. If people can't figure out how to use the -f flag then that's actually a documentation bug and I should fix that
