  1. Version 0.7 - February 12, 2011
  2. - Re-use CURL object, thereby reuseing DNS cache and HTTP connections
  3. - Use bswap_32, if compiler intrinsic is not available
  4. - Disable full target validation (as opposed to simply H==0) for now
  5. Version 0.6.1 - February 4, 2011
  6. - Fully validate "hash < target", rather than simply stopping our scan
  7. if the high 32 bits are 00000000.
  8. - Add --retry-pause, to set length of pause time between failure retries
  9. - Display proof-of-work hash and target, if -D (debug mode) enabled
  10. - Fix max-nonce auto-adjustment to actually work. This means if your
  11. scan takes longer than 5 seconds (--scantime), the miner will slowly
  12. reduce the number of hashes you work on, before fetching a new work unit.
  13. Version 0.6 - January 29, 2011
  14. - Fetch new work unit, if scanhash takes longer than 5 seconds (--scantime)
  15. - BeeCee1's sha256 4way optimizations
  16. - lfm's byte swap optimization (improves via, cryptopp)
  17. - Fix non-working short options -q, -r
  18. Version 0.5 - December 28, 2010
  19. - Exit program, when all threads have exited
  20. - Improve JSON-RPC failure diagnostics and resilience
  21. - Add --quiet option, to disable hashmeter output.
  22. Version 0.3.3 - December 27, 2010
  23. - Critical fix for sha256_cryptopp 'cryptopp_asm' algo
  24. Version 0.3.2 - December 23, 2010
  25. - Critical fix for sha256_via
  26. Version 0.3.1 - December 19, 2010
  27. - Critical fix for sha256_via
  28. - Retry JSON-RPC failures (see --retry, under "minerd --help" output)
  29. Version 0.3 - December 18, 2010
  30. - Add crypto++ 32bit assembly implementation
  31. - show version upon 'minerd --help'
  32. - work around gcc 4.5.x bug that killed 4way performance
  33. Version 0.2.2 - December 6, 2010
  34. - VIA padlock implementation works now
  35. - Minor build and runtime fixes
  36. Version 0.2.1 - November 29, 2010
  37. - avoid buffer overflow when submitting solutions
  38. - add Crypto++ sha256 implementation (C only, ASM elided for now)
  39. - minor internal optimizations and cleanups
  40. Version 0.2 - November 27, 2010
  41. - Add script for building a Windows installer
  42. - improve hash performance (hashmeter) statistics
  43. - add tcatm 4way sha256 implementation
  44. - Add experimental VIA Padlock sha256 implementation
  45. Version 0.1.2 - November 26, 2010
  46. - many small cleanups and micro-optimizations
  47. - build win32 exe using mingw
  48. - RPC URL, username/password become command line arguments
  49. - remove unused OpenSSL dependency
  50. Version 0.1.1 - November 24, 2010
  51. - Do not build sha256_generic module separately from cpuminer.
  52. Version 0.1 - November 24, 2010
  53. - Initial release.
