⛏ SRBMiner-MULTI v2.3.8
✔️ Added support for NVIDIA 'Volta' architecture - displayed as 'unknown_nvidia' but supported algorithms should work
✔️ Dynex bug fixes
✔️ Minor bug fixes
!MANDATORY UPGRADE FOR DYNEX MINING!
I got informed by Dynex developers that after the optimisations i made in previous miner version, some of the jobs they tested returned invalid pouw solutions.
Because of the changes i had to make to fix the problem, hashrate decreased on most of the GPU's. (except AMD RDNA2 GPUs which actually got an increase in hashrate from the new code)
NVIDIA GPU's got the biggest hit. To be able to continue mining, users MUST upgrade to this version (v 2.3.8) as soon as possible! Older versions will stop working in a few days (i don't know the exact date - Dynex team will make that decision).

⛏ Rigel v1.9.1
✔️ Bug fixes: (CFX) Low hashrate on CMP cards

MINERS
⛏ OneZeroMiner v1.2.5
✔️ Hashrate/Efficiency Improvement on some gpus
✔️ Added new tuning parameter --nr. This is a per gpu option and is related to the number of rounds done in one iteration. Default is 1 and the values are 1,2,4 and 8. The best value for almost all gpus is either 1 or 2. Make sure you try both --nr 1 and --nr 2 and let the miner find the best --nt value to get a baseline. Note that higher --nr values might lead to more power fluctuations and higher stale shares.

⛏ BzMiner v17.0.0
✔️ New coin: decred
✔️ Added support on Intel Arc GPUs for Decred, Rethereum
✔️ Intel enabled by default
✔️ Intel Arc support for decred, ironfish, alph, radiant rethereum, clore, xna, rvn, gamepass, neoxa and meowcoin,
✔️ Added option restart_on_reconnect
✔️ Fixed hive not liking http/https in the pool urls (https is used by default if protocol is not specified)
✔️ Fixed possible crash on Intel only rigs

MINERS
⛏ SRBMiner-MULTI v2.3.6
✔️ Added support for algorithm 'dynex' on NVIDIA GPUs
✔️ Performance improvement on algorithm 'dynex' on AMD GPUs
✔️ Removed Dynex optimised dual kernels
✔️ Lowered devfee for algorithm 'ethashb3' to standard 0.85%
✔️ Added parameter '--busy-wait-recheck' which sets the NVIDIA/INTEL GPUs OpenCL busy wait recheck value per algorithm*

⛏ Rigel v1.8.1
✔️ Add Neoxa mining support (-a neoxa, see neox bat/sh script)
✔️ (RVN) Bugfix: Miner is incompatible with Hiveon pool
✔️ (ETC) Bugfix: Invalid shares issue introduced in 1.8.0

MINERS
⛏ miniZ v2.2c
✔️ Added support for the EthashB3 algorithm (Rethereum, RTH). Commission: 1%
✔️ Added support for the EvrProgPoW (Evrmore, EVR) algorithm. Commission: 1%
✔️ Removed DAG generation in most cases when mining commission on ProgPow/Ethash algorithms
✔️ Fixed an issue that caused a miner error when mining ProgPow/KawPoW
✔️ Fixed problems with Zil mining when mining on Nicehash
✔️ Small hashrate improvement for RTX40XX cards on equihash 125.4 (FLUX) and 144.5 (BTG, BTCZ,…) algorithms

⛏ CPUminer-opt v3.23.2
✔️ sha256dt, sha256t & sha256d +10% with SHA, small improvement with AVX2.
✔️ Other small improvements and code cleanup

MINERS
⛏ OneZeroMiner v1.2.1
✔️ Added support for SSL/TLS
pool urls now support ssl:// or stratum+ssl:// prefix to enable ssl
✔️ Added new option --no-cert-validation to skip SSL/TLS certificate verification.
✔️ Added rejected shares monitoring to watchdog
✔️ Revised watchdog's issue handling
✔️ The miner does a full restart of mallob and pool connections on watchdog issues.
✔️ Removed the OpenSSL 1.1 dependency and updated internal OpenSSL library to the latest version.
✔️ OpenSSL is now statically linked
✔️ Deprecated --max-no-job option since it is redundant and max-no-acc does the same job.
This option is disabled in this version and will be removed in the next release.
✔️ Added more dev pools and randomization of dev pool selection to reduce the load on pools servers
✔️ Fixed a bug that could freeze the miner on multiple mallob reconnections.
✔️ Minor bug fixes

⛏ Rigel v1.7.1
✔️ (Rethereum) Add RTH+RXD and RTH+RXD+ZIL mining support

⛏ SRBMiner-MULTI v2.3.4
✔️ Added algorithm 'ethashb3' (RETHEREUM coin) support for NVIDIA GPUs
✔️ Added support for dual mining ETHASHB3/SHA512_256D_RADIANT on NVIDIA and AMD RDNA1/2/3 GPUs
✔️ Added gfx906 (Vega VII) binaries for algorithm 'dynex' on newer drivers (tested on 22.40.6)
✔️ Fixed gfx900 mining on algorithm 'dynex' broke in previous version

⛏ BzMiner v16.0.1
✔️ Optimized Rethereum (Nvidia/AMD)
✔️ Added Optimized Rethereum + Radiant
