NEW VERSION 3.1.0, JUNE 13 2013
This release includes numerous merges of contributions by Con & Kano, from
cgminer 2.11.0 through 3.2.1. Major merges are noted in the human readable
changelog with "cg". Notable exclusions are the libusb rewrites (overall a bad
idea), "hotplug" support (not implemented correctly), and "cURL-less" stratum
(breaks proxy support, and the underlying bugs they hoped to workaround with
it are already fixed in BFGMiner). BFGMiner also continues to use the
original, time-tested driver for Butterfly Labs devices, including ASICs, and
does not include cgminer's ASIC-specific rewritten "BFLSC" driver in any form.
Additionally, there have been many internal code cleanups. Please note that as
uthash is now available for most operating systems, it is no longer bundled
with BFGMiner. You will need to install the uthash-dev package to compile
BFGMiner 3.1+.
Human readable changelog:
- BitForce: Support for new long-board job-per-chip protocol.
- Reformatted TUI summaries, including percentage of shares rejected or stale.
- Icarus-compatible devices: Autodetect work_division by default (eg, for
Block Erupter USB ASICs).
- Avalon: Driver is now compiled in by default, including in official binaries
- Avalon: Will only configure with specific -S avalon:/dev/ttyUSBn option
(note the driver name must be included), since there is no reliable probe
for it.
- Avalon: Full data for 4-module devices in RPC. cg
- OpenCL: Support for reading temperature from free software radeon drivers
via libsensors.
- Fixes for writing configuration files when --device and/or --remove-disabled
are specified.
- Faster startup now when pools are slow, connecting to the first pool
available! cg
- Adding a pool now from the menu will return quickly while it leaves probing
it to the background. cg
- Scrypt: Fixed the failure to create high thread concurrencies. cg
- Scrypt: Intensities above 13 will not lead to garbage being generated on GCN
(7xxx) hardware now. cg
- Scrypt: Decreased default GPU threads to 1. Intensities above 13 cannot
handle more. cg
- Scrypt: Changed the default choice of thread concurrency if no options are
passed as a hint, based on amount of available GPU RAM. cg
- Scrypt: Extensive updates to the SCRYPT-README file in line with changes to
the code and new information. cg
- Scrypt: Slightly larger buffer which may lead to less hardware errors on
very fast GPUs. cg
- CPU mining: Numerous improvements to portability. Should also work on
Windows now, at least.
