Version 2.0.0

Added

• Request a new plot check, via 'Recheck' button added to Check results dialog on Farming page.
• Optionally exclude certain plot directories from replotting check to free disk space. Useful for drives only partially dedicated to holding plots.

Changed

Updated

• Bladebit to 3.0.0.
• Cactus to v2.0.0
• Chia to v2.0.0.

• HDDCoin to 3.0.0 based on Chia 1.8.2.

Notes

• Reading CNI release notes from their betas, it seems they recommend to generate a brand-new config.yaml to add all their new settings. So please perform a blockchain config reset, if you will be farming compressed plots.

Version 1.8.2

Good day, Machinaris v1.8.2 is now available:

Updated

• Chia to v1.8.2

Version 1.8.1

Changed
