WARNING: difficulty grows and can reach 11!
All previous xpmclient versions automatically switch off when work with difficulty 11 will be received!
You can follow 2 ways:

1. Manually edit config.txt when difficulty reach 10.99+
Quote
# Target Cunningham chain length, default = auto (adjust to difficulty)
target = "11";


# Sieve layers number, optimal value is target*2; default = auto (target*2)
width = "22";

2. Use new version 10.2-beta.

...

New xpmclient version 10.2 beta available HERE. New features:
- Radeon RX Vega support. See config.txt
Quote
# Platform:
#  "amd": AMD GCN cards
#  "amd legacy": AMD HD5xxx & HD6xxx cards
#  "amd vega": AMD Vega cards
#  "nvidia": NVidia Maxwell cards
platform = "amd vega";

With "good" drivers you can get 14,5-15 CPD on Vega56 and more than 16 CPD with Vega64. What is "good" drivers? Need more statistic from miner users.

- Difficulty target automatic switch. For use this feature, edit config.txt:
Quote
# Target Cunningham chain length, default = auto (adjust to difficulty)
target = "auto";

# Sieve layers number, optimal value is target*2; default = auto (target*2)
width = "auto";
With this settings miner automatically switch to target=11 when difficulty reach 10.991.

Remember, that CPD with target 11 will be less by 28-29 times than you see with target=10!

Do we need to change also sievePerRound to 7 ?
