This release supports the cryptonight_v8 POW of the upcoming Monero fork on 18th Oct 2018.

Use the currency setting monero for automatic switching on the next fork.

A bug which broke AMD HD6XXX GPUs is fixed.

We dropped NVIDIA Fermi support in the precompiled Windows binaries. The minimum required CUDA Version for NVIDIA GPUs is 9.0.
The precompiled binaries includes OpenSSL 1.1.1 for a better TLS compatibility.
You can now use with AMD Rocm 1.9.X.

Config files from 2.5.0 are compatible and 2.4.X or older are NOT compatible to this release.

We would like to thank the community for their tests and contributions to xmr-stak.
Changelog:

    Add console warning on GPU error. #1956
    update AMD install docu #1954
    Remove dead code #1950
    Add missing test for cryptonight_lite #1949
    fix broken AMD OpenCL compile #1945 #1951
    reduce blocking during metric update #1940
    fix access uninitialized value #1928

Just made a PR, will be merged to release point soon

I managed to compile it on nvOC dual_CUDA. But I'm not sure he's using version 9.2 when compiling.

I have not managed to correctly integrate this xmr-stak new version (5.1) in the 0miner script by modifying only a few simple lines to launch the minning logie.

So I launched the software by hand after launching the terminal that loads the other scripts like tempcontrol, watchdog, wtm_check profit or log_rotate.
Since the software was not starting correctly via 3main, I just closed the minning terminal and launched a new unamaed tab to run xmr-stak manually with the right command.


I noticed a sharp drop in speed compared to cryptonight V7 although the network lost about 1/3 of its power because of the fork. perhaps CNv8 is more heavy to calculate. I don't know.
I hope that Freice and psychocrypt will optimize all this soon because I mined at 6 KH/s to 5 KH/s or below ! Embarrassed

I saw on github that you are working on the next version 3.0 of nvOC. It is a very good news.
