Version 4.11.1 - 16th August 2018
- Alias T1factory option to noauto.
- sem_timedwait needs to use CLOCK_REALTIME.
- Conditional timedwaits need to use CLOCK_REALTIME.
- Remove unused abstime.
Version 4.11.0 - 15th August 2018
- Disable implicit fallthrough warning for newer GCCs.
- Alphabetical options.
- Cope with abs timeouts not working on some OSs, fixing a logic error on
cgsem_mswait.
- hash table: use lookup instead of iteration
- Do away with useless factory tune.
- Keep diff low for accurate hashrates.
- Take an optional fanspeed target allowing for quiet operation.
- Change default pll back to 1332.
- Set lastshare on successful reinit and sleep longer for each retry.
- Allow much tighter temperature control if temperature is unchanged for a
longer period, allowing temps to get to 75 degrees and have optimally low
fanspeed.
- Use clock_gettime instead of gettimeofday to not be burnt by ntp changes.
- Remove useless variables.
- Should be 390k.
- Set lower spi speed to allow ultra low frequencies on shutdown.
- Re-initialise chains first if possible instead of shutting down cgminer.
- Abstract out prepare T1.
- Abstract out start t1 chain.
- More reliably shut down cgminer from the driver thread.
- Import SPI fixes.
- Import dev fixes.
- Speed up mcompat_find_chain_vid since we are just going to lower voltage
during tuning it doesn't need to be very accurate.
- Fast start/restart with clean shutdown to lower power but powered on mode.
- Import Dragonmint T1 driver and version rolling AKA asicboost support.
- Do not give out API description to random probes to inappopriately open ports.
- Use system provided uthash and libjansson if provided preferentially now.
- Update uthash to version 2.0.2
- Avoid potential buffer overflows in api.c
- Fix write config with enable-icarus changes.
- Sleep if btcd isn't immediately available and try again when attempting to
decode a coinbase.
- Elaborate what type of pool coinbase transactions to decode and do not print a
warning if no devices are attached when decoding.
- Add a --decode option that decodes a pool's coinbase transactions and exits.
- Set up gbt_curl before setting gbt_solo flag to prevent gbt_curl deref in
longpoll_thread.
- remove cgminer-api libusb dependency
- Update jasson library in gitignore
- Fix compile guide for api-example.c
- Cleanup libusb-1.0 in gitignore
- Remove AVA7_FREQ_CUTOFF_MODE for Avalon7
- Initialize default temp in detect_modules for Avalon7
- Remove AVA7_FREQ_TEMPADJ_MODE for Avalon7
- Fix build with disable-libcurl.
Version 4.10.0 - 23rd January 2017
- Silence warning.
- Clean up compac driver.
- Allocate appropriate memory size for PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR
- Remove jansson memory tricks.
- Increase header size for gbt solo.
- Increase header size.
- Fix curl build on mingw
- Windows build fixes.
- Fix avalon4 warnings.
- We can only change diff once per notify so assume successive diffs are stacked
for successive notifies.
- Enable avalon4 building with avalon7.
- Move to system libusb.
- Upgrade to jansson 2.9
- display restart thread errno
- String length sanity checks in config parsing.
- Make pool_no and block height logging more consistent
- Always clean swork when prev_hash changes
- Add nonce mask to api for Avalon7
- Add new options for Avalon7
- Add a device table for Avalon7
- Update AVA7_DEFAULT_MINER_CNT usage
- Add frequency range support 100MHz - 500MHz
- Added roll_work_ntime() to enchance performance
- Revert "Set default ava7 nonce mask to 27 which empiric testing shows stable
and more rapid rise in frequency without significant overshoot."
- Remove useless code in avalon7
- Detect avalon7 modules during ava7 init and only add the device if any modules
exist.
- Unplug avalon7 on failing to re-init AUC to allow a clean hotplug event which
is more reliable.
- Fix warning without ava4/7
- Re-initialise libusb if there are no active devices before the next hotplug
event.
- Reset the tv_end variable before each libusb handle events call.
- Fix Vo display for A741
- Update AVA7_DEFAULT_ASIC_MAX for A741
- Tweak ava7 fan control further.
- Set default ava7 nonce mask to 27 which empiric testing shows stable and more
rapid rise in frequency without significant overshoot.
- Set ava7 starting fan to 1/3 speed between min and max.
- Convert the avalon7 fan control to use a PID-like feedback mechanism for
optimal fan speed and quasi-constant temperature. Change meaning of target
temperature to actual desired temperature, setting it to 90C. Set minimum
fanspeed to 5% as a safety fallback.
- Inherit the diff from the original stratum in submit_nonce2_nonce, fixing
wrong diff submits on avalon6/7.
- Use diff1 and diff rejected to calculate hashrate in avalon7 for a more stable
displayed hashrate.
- Check for nodev errors after usb transfers to not change the err value.
- There is no need for complicated locking in usb_reset; simply use the write
lock and avoid locking risks.
- Update nonce mask from 31 to 29
- Send jobid when it's update
- Flush useless works when new block was found
- Update error polling count
- Fix frequency mode for Avalon7
