easyBTX v0.8.8 — Apple Silicon faster

Apple Silicon Macs: about 4-5x faster

This release fixes a bug that was holding the Mac (Metal) miner far below its potential. Every Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, M4) now mines roughly 4-5x faster. Nothing to do: the update is automatic, just keep the app open.

Windows is being sunset

We are retiring the native Windows build. If you mine on Windows, switch to the Linux build running under WSL (Ubuntu on Windows) -- on the same hardware it is 15-30x faster than native Windows, and it runs right on top of Windows. The native Windows version cannot keep up, so we are moving everyone to the Linux path.

Linux

The Linux build is the most powerful option, and it runs on Windows too via WSL.
