We released new version of excavator: https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/tag/v1.5.0a

Changelog:
  • bug fixes & improvements
  • changed stratum protocol to NiceHash Miner Protocol
  • API version bumped to 0.1.0
  • added algorithm CryptoNightV7 (XMR)
  • speed improvements for CryptoNight
  • added support for Tesla P100

Additional notes:
  • From version 1.5.0a further excavator supports only NiceHash stratum servers. Stratum servers are available at:
    nhmp.LOCATION.nicehash.com (LOCATION: eu, usa, hk, jp, in, br).
  • Excavator API has changed!
  • This version of Excavator is not compatible with NiceHash Miner (yet).
