Version 1.5.7 alpha NVIDIA

• changed benchmark job for x16r

Remark on benchmark for x16r:

With previous version of excavator (1.5.6a) benchmark was performed on a dummy job that reached average speeds for each card. Now, different job is selected, which reaches ~20% lower speed. This step was necessary to assure that current profitability is almost always higher or equal to the one calculated with the benchmark result.

Miner speed on GTX 1080 Ti for the last two days:

Version 1.5.6 alpha NVIDIA

• added algorithm x16r

Version 1.5.5 alpha NVIDIA

• speed improvements for lyra2z
• added devices[i]/gpu_memory_total field to device.list method
• small lyra2rev2 improvements on some cards

Version 1.5.4 alpha NVIDIA

• API version bumped to 0.1.4
• added algorithm lyra2z
• fixed lyra2rev2 bug that was causing lower pool speed on some pools

Remark on API changes:
We added state.set method: https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/tree/master/api#state-set

Its main goal is easier handling with an excavator between switching, see the example: https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/blob/master/command_file_switching_example.json
