Changelog

Added

  • Desktop launcher for solo and pool mining, with live logs and OpenCL device detection.
  • --firopow-network support for mainnet, testnet, devnet, and regtest epoch schedules.
  • Optional UTF-8 solo coinbase messages, with a companion Firo daemon patch.
  • Opt-in --cl-experimental-inline OpenCL kernel variant.
  • Checksum-verified Linux and Windows CUDA/OpenCL release packages.

Changed

  • Improved CUDA and OpenCL work scheduling, nonce-range handling, low-difficulty behavior, and device recovery.
  • Hardened Stratum and Getwork parsing, timeouts, reconnection, and asynchronous shutdown. Solo Getwork now requires a reward address.
  • Protected API status access when a password is configured and redacted pool credentials from the unauthenticated HTTP view.
  • Made --cl-global-work control the OpenCL work multiplier instead of being ignored.
  • Expanded FiroPoW, miner-state, protocol, API, GUI, sanitizer, and packaging tests.

Fixed

  • Fixed mismatched FiroPoW epochs and invalid solo Getwork jobs.
  • Fixed overlapping OpenCL scratch storage and generated-kernel paths containing spaces.
  • Fixed Getwork socket lifetime, pool shutdown ordering, malformed coinbase UTF-8, and out-of-bounds unit formatting.
  • Fixed current Linux and Windows toolchain compatibility and Windows CUDA runtime packaging.

Compatibility and validation

  • Non-mainnet miners must select the matching --firopow-network; mainnet remains the default.
  • Solo Getwork requires --reward-address.
  • Coinbase messages are limited to 80 valid UTF-8 bytes, require the included patch for Firo 0.14.15.3 source, and are not supported by pools.
  • When --api-password is set, HTTP monitoring returns 401. Authenticate through the plain TCP JSON-RPC API with api_authorize.
  • --cl-experimental-inline remains off by default.
  • Packages target compatible Ubuntu 22.04 or newer x86-64 systems and Windows 10/11 x64. They are unsigned and require host GPU drivers; CUDA packages require an NVIDIA driver.
  • CI passed core tests, ASan/UBSan, ThreadSanitizer, package smoke tests, and checksum verification. No physical GPU execution, hashrate, or accepted-share testing was performed. The companion daemon patch's full rebuilt-daemon regression was not run in this workspace.
