Allow setting two decimals for dual ratio --dual-mode a12:rN.NN
(UI) Display GPU core and memory offsets
(UI) Add "r" key shortcut to redact username/worker (useful when sharing screenshots of miner output)
Changelog
(ZIL) Cache DAG for epoch 1, following ZIL epoch change
(Nexa) Add --nexapow-small-lut on/off parameter to enforce using small lookup tables

(Ergo) Add --autolykos2-prebuild parameter to enable/disable dataset prebuild (see readme)
Improve pool re-connection logic (no delay if previous connection attempt was less than 10s ago)
Make troubleshooting overclock issues easier by only logging the error from the first GPU that crashed - most often this is the GPU that needs further OC tweaking
Changelog
(Ergo) Add autolykos2 algorithm (dev fee 1%)
ERG+RXD and ERG+RXD+ZIL also supported
Changelog
(ZIL) Improve stability when switching OC in dual/triple mining
(ZIL) Add --zil-test-intervals parameter to set durations of primary algorithm and Zilliqa sessions in test mode (see readme)
Bug fixes:
(Nexa) Invalid shares when mining to Nicehash
Changelog
Bug fixes:
(Zilliqa) The miner crashes or produces very low hashrate when switching to Zil mining
(Nexa) Performance regression
Changelog
Fix incorrect parsing of --fan-control parameter (broken in 1.5.0, only last fan control value is applied across all GPUs)
Changelog
Add support for mining Radiant (-a sha512256d), dev fee 1.0%
(Kaspa) Tiny performance improvements
Allow --fan-control to be set per algorithm - can be used to set different fan speeds for primary algorithm and ZIL
Changelog
* (IronFish) Minor performance improvements
* (Alephium) Performance improvements for Turing GPUs and newer
Changelog
(IronFish) Performance improvements for Turing and Ampere GPUs
(Zilliqa) Add --zil-test parameter to simulate ZIL sessions every 30 seconds - useful for testing overclock settings
Bug fixes:
(Alephium) Performance regression
(Zilliqa) Overclock settings are not applied during DAG generation at start up causing power spikes
Changelog
(Nexa) Minor performance improvements
Bug fixes:
(Alephium) Low pool hashrate when mining to certain pools including alph-pool, woolypooly, and coinhunters
Changelog
* (IronFish) Minor performance improvements for 30xx series GPUs
Changelog
* (IronFish) Minor performance improvements
Changelog
* (IronFish) Minor performance/efficiency improvements
Changelog
* (IronFish) Stratum v2 support for major pools, hashrate increase
Bug fixes:
* Overclock settings fail to apply on drivers older than v515
Changelog
* Add ZIL countdown display in TUI and console reports - experimental feature (enable with --zil-countdown)
* (IronFish) Improve compatibility with mining pools - flexpool, herominers, kryptex
Changelog
* Add support for mining Alephium (-a alephium) and IronFish (-a ironfish)
Dual and triple modes with ETC, ETHW, OCTA and ZIL are supported too.
Bug fixes:
* Memory temperature is not displayed on 530+ drivers
Changelog
Add --stats-interval parameter to configure GPU stats report frequency
Add support for mining Octa.Space coin
The coin uses ethash algorithm, however you need to set -a octa to prevent the miner rebuilding DAG for dev fee
Dual and triple modes with Kaspa and Zil are supported too.
Changelog
* (Nexa) Minor performance/efficiency improvements
* Display average GPU power consumption instead of the most recent value reported by the driver - this reduces fluctuations in power readings and efficiency numbers. The averaging window size can be overridden with --power-avg parameter (default 10 seconds)
Changelog
* (Nexa) Performance/efficiency improvements
As with the previous version, set --kernel 2 to use a more energy efficient implementation for low-end/mid-range 30xx GPUs, otherwise the miner will aim for maximum hashrate even at a cost of higher power draw
Changelog
* (Nexa) Add --kernel parameter to switch between different nexapow implementations (see notes below)
Bug fixes:
* (UI) dual mining view switch (e.g. nexapow <-> zil) is broken on Windows
Changelog
* (Nexa) performance improvements (mainly Turing, high-end Ampere, and Ada GPUs)
Changelog
* (Nexa) Minor performance improvements
* (Nexa) Echelon protocol support
* (UI) Display GPU efficiency information (hashrate per watt)
Bug fixes:
* Miner fails to lock core/memory clocks sometimes
Changelog
(Nexa) Minor performance improvements
(Nexa) Fix performance regression for 40xx GPUs
Changelog
* (Nexa) performance/efficiency improvements
* Add support for explicit locked clocks reset (pass X to --lock-cclock / --lock-mclock, see usage example in zil-dual script)
* (Windows) Fix panic errors when using SSL stratums
Changelog
(Zil) Fix duplicate shares when mining to non-zmp pools (e.g. crazypool)
Changelog
Multiple ZIL mining fixes/improvements:
Add support for non-zmp pools (including Nexa+Zil, Kaspa+Zil)
Fix insufficient memory error when mining Nexa+Zil
Fix applying overclock settings in dual mining with Zil
Fix duplicate shares when mining to flexpool
See zil-dual bat/sh script in the miner archive on how to set Zil-specific overclock settings
Note that Nexa hashrate will be lower in Nexa+Zil mode compared to Nexa alone on 8GB GPUs because of increased memory requirements.
Also in the release:
Add --no-strict-ssl option to disable pool certificate verification
Fix DNS resolve timeout error on windows
Changelog
* (Nexa) Fix "duplicate share" issue when mining to vipor.net pool
Changelog
* (Nexa) performance/efficiency improvements
Changelog
Add Nexa mining support (2% dev fee).
Miner terminates connection with a pool if it issued a job but didn't respond to a previously sent RPC request.
Changelog
(Kaspa) Minor performance improvements
Add dev fee:
ethash - 0.7%
etchash - 0.7%
zil - 0%
kheavyhash - 0.7%
(ETHW, ETC) Using stratum protocol in the pool URL will now resolve to ethstratum for Nicehash, and ethproxy for all other pools. Previously ethstratum was used by default.

Changelog
Fix high CPU usage
Changelog
Improve Kaspa mining performance
DNS-over-HTTPS support (see --dns-over-https)
