Note that this is
not an official release. The changes are:
- Small kernel stability improvements that also may (very) slightly increase the speed of Nvidia cards
- CPU utilization during normal operation is lowered by about a factor of 10 regardless of the number of GPUs
- Added support for -tstop and -tstart options to stop mining on given GPU if the temperature rise above specified value and restart it after it cools down below -tstart temperature
- Fixed the problem with console window freezing after scrolling
- Implemented new -gpow n option to lower the GPU utilization (the value n is the desired GPU utilization in percent; default: 100)
- Implemented the -li option to lower the intensity (use this instead of -gpow if you are already using -mi with low values)
- Improved GPU speed statistics, using moving average window for each GPU. You can change the size of the window with the -gswin n option (n is between 5-30 seconds; default 15; use 0 to revert to the old way of using 5 second "quants" which are independent of each other)
- You can now specify GPU number above 9 by typing three-digit sequence at the console (e.g. type 011 to pause or resume GPU11)
- Added support for the miner_getstat2 remote monitoring request
- Show the SSL and HTTP schemes to indicate the type of connection
- The command-line options are now case-insensitive
