Hi,

an Cast XMR update is available.

The main reason for the update is the integration of the PoW changes to CryptoNight for the Monero V7 network upgrade which are documented here:

https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/3253

The Monero V7 network upgrade is planned to be end of march, an exact and final block height is not set yet. So stay up to date!

Regards,
glph3k


Cast XMR Version 0.9.0 (2018/03/08)

  - support for the Monero V7 network upgrade. Read more about it here
  - the Monero PoW switch will be automatically detected, no restart of cast XMR is required. Only make sure to update cast XMR before the network upgrade is happening and that the used Monero pool supports the network upgrade
  - no decrease in hash rate for other currencies was introduced by the change
  - CryptoNightV7 will run at the same hash rate as CryptoNight
  - for any case there is the new --algo option to force which CryptoNight variant to use:
    - -1 = autodetect (default)
    - 0 = CryptoNight
    - 1 = CryptoNightV7 (Monero V7 network upgrade)
