Release v1.6.1d Build 491
- Bug fixes
- Suggested improvements
- More aggressive synchronization -> 1-2% hashrate improvement + less rejects on poolside
- detection of thermal throttling (useful for 3080 and 3090 cards) - it will be printed out when printing efficiencies and it'd be returned in API call to devices.get
- reconnect stuck bug fixed
- added /cmdcommit function to save current commands to actual command file
Latest release: 1.6.1c build 420
- completely revamped Excavator
- removed all algorithms except daggerhashimoto
- removed support for older than Pascal NVIDIA cards
- various bug fixes and compatibility improvements
No Linux binaries at this point. Maybe in the future.

Note on CUDA 10 build:
NVIDIA drivers 411.xx or more recent are required.
Version 1.5.11 alpha
- fixed difficulty parsing bug
Note on CUDA 10 build:
- supports Turing architecture (RTX cards)
- NVIDIA drivers 411.63 or more recent are required
Version 1.5.10 alpha
- lyra2z speed improvements
- small lyra2rev2 speed improvements for some cards
- API bumped to 0.1.7
Version 1.5.9 alpha
- added support for low intensity mining
- lyra2z speed improvements for Pascal cards
- added benchmark option to state.set method
- API version bumped to 0.1.6
- removed algorithms sia, lbry and daggerhashimoto_sia
- removed '_nvidia' tag from version name
Note on intensity:
Low intensity mining limits the amount of GPU resources used by excavator - it runs with decreased GPU load. If device intensity is set to low and algorithm that doesn't support intensity is selected, excavator will mine with full intensity. Algorithms that support low intensity: blake2s, daggerhashimoto, lyra2rev2, keccak, neoscrypt, lyra2z, x16r.
Version 1.5.8 alpha NVIDIA
- worker.reset is performed automatically after worker initialization
