  1. Version 0.6.1 - February 4, 2010
  2. - Fully validate "hash < target", rather than simply stopping our scan
  3. if the high 32 bits are 00000000.
  4. - Add --retry-pause, to set length of pause time between failure retries
  5. - Display proof-of-work hash and target, if -D (debug mode) enabled
  6. - Fix max-nonce auto-adjustment to actually work. This means if your
  7. scan takes longer than 5 seconds (--scantime), the miner will slowly
  8. reduce the number of hashes you work on, before fetching a new work unit.
  9. Version 0.6 - January 29, 2010
  10. - Fetch new work unit, if scanhash takes longer than 5 seconds (--scantime)
  11. - BeeCee1's sha256 4way optimizations
  12. - lfm's byte swap optimization (improves via, cryptopp)
  13. - Fix non-working short options -q, -r
  14. Version 0.5 - December 28, 2010
  15. - Exit program, when all threads have exited
  16. - Improve JSON-RPC failure diagnostics and resilience
  17. - Add --quiet option, to disable hashmeter output.
  18. Version 0.3.3 - December 27, 2010
  19. - Critical fix for sha256_cryptopp 'cryptopp_asm' algo
  20. Version 0.3.2 - December 23, 2010
  21. - Critical fix for sha256_via
  22. Version 0.3.1 - December 19, 2010
  23. - Critical fix for sha256_via
  24. - Retry JSON-RPC failures (see --retry, under "minerd --help" output)
  25. Version 0.3 - December 18, 2010
  26. - Add crypto++ 32bit assembly implementation
  27. - show version upon 'minerd --help'
  28. - work around gcc 4.5.x bug that killed 4way performance
  29. Version 0.2.2 - December 6, 2010
  30. - VIA padlock implementation works now
  31. - Minor build and runtime fixes
  32. Version 0.2.1 - November 29, 2010
  33. - avoid buffer overflow when submitting solutions
  34. - add Crypto++ sha256 implementation (C only, ASM elided for now)
  35. - minor internal optimizations and cleanups
  36. Version 0.2 - November 27, 2010
  37. - Add script for building a Windows installer
  38. - improve hash performance (hashmeter) statistics
  39. - add tcatm 4way sha256 implementation
  40. - Add experimental VIA Padlock sha256 implementation
  41. Version 0.1.2 - November 26, 2010
  42. - many small cleanups and micro-optimizations
  43. - build win32 exe using mingw
  44. - RPC URL, username/password become command line arguments
  45. - remove unused OpenSSL dependency
  46. Version 0.1.1 - November 24, 2010
  47. - Do not build sha256_generic module separately from cpuminer.
  48. Version 0.1 - November 24, 2010
  49. - Initial release.
