20211230.1

⚡️ MINER

• openCL optimizations up to x2.0 (some GPUs are able to show even more than x2)

NB: please re-run benchmark after update to get actual optimized BOOST_FACTOR

Do not hesitate to report any CPU issues if present. We're tryed to keep CPU usage as low as possible for multi-gpu systems.

⚡️ RE-BUILD: GIVER STRATEGIES 😋

• IMPORTANT: fixed bug with static strategy
• auto giver selection - auto and random strategies, check the docs
• fix for benchmark with GPU_ID greater than 0 (again 🤦)
• more reporting on liteserver connections (liteserver id)
• support for log rotation on SIGHUP

⚡️ (AVG SPD IS BACK) RE-BUILD: "FOUND!" DOUBLE CHECKED, stats and liteserver reporting improvements

• fixed average speed reading
• fixed lost seed in messages
• fixed unstable instant hasrate reading
• improved hasrate precision
• "FOUND!" - the most exciting message now checked on CPU before sending to giver. So, overclockers now protected from GPU overtune
• in case of network or liteserver connectivity problem you'll see LS id and will be able to exclude it from your global config
• miner's stats in JSON file to collect by your monitoring system (check docs for -s tonlib option)
• minor fixes

⚡️ FIXES-FIXES-FIXES

• fix CUDA compatibility - maybe (MAYBE!!!) your dusty old Nvidia GTX will mine something (or not)
• fix AMD/OpenCL boost factor error
• fix mining delay after FOUND! event
• fix lite-server message (liteserver debug ID print)
