As the work on the hardware control options is taking longer than expected, here is a beta version with the other new features: PhoenixMiner 2.7a. It can be downloaded from here:

   Note that this is not an official release and the hardware control and solo mining features are not included in it (they will be included in the final 2.7 release). The changes are:

• Improvements in switching between normal mode and devfee mode to avoid some GPUs "losing" their overcloking/undervolting settings
• Increase the frequency of getWork requests to lower the probability of stale shares
• Added support for direct mining of Akroma, WhaleCoin, and Victorium without DevFee switching (use akroma, whale, or vic in the -coin parameter)
• Show warning messages and more detailed error messages when the virtual memory is low, or GPU memory is not enough for DAG allocation
• Other small improvements and changes
