Well that was some unexpected humour from the bitcoin mining crowd. I grinned I guess the improving price of BTC has improved people's moods.

2.0.9 was a development version number only, and yes the minor version upgrade (as opposed to micro version) signifies the feature upgrade to the RPC API.

If you pulled from git and are still getting version 2.0.9 it's because you didn't do ./autogen.sh

As for windows, as I said I've thrown it in the debugger heaps of times and the bug goes away in it so it's proving undebuggable (a Heisenbug). (I do believe it's some windows versions only). So you're out of luck unless you wish to run cgminer without the curses display (i.e. start it with -T).

Yes, I've never been able to figure out why it fails to build bin files reliably on windows. Certainly starting without overclock might be helpful, but no workaround seems 100%. If all else fails, copying the bin files from a previous install will work as none of the kernel code has changed in quite a long time. That will likely change (i.e. new kernel) with the new 2.6 SDK and 79xx cards in the future.

I figured reading values from the ADL was fraught with problems, sorry.

That's right, Windows is broken. Running it under the debugger the problem goes away, therefore it's impossible to debug. Ergo, use linux or just kill it when you exit if you must use windows.

Redownload. I uploaded an incomplete build only at first.

New version 2.1.0! Links in top post

Version 2.1.0 - December 27, 2012

- Major infrastructure upgrade with RPC interface for controlling via sockets
encoded with/without JSON courtesy of Andrew Smith. Added documentation for
use of the API and sample code to use with it.
- Updated linux-usb-cgminer document.
- Rewrite of longpoll mechanism to choose the current pool wherever possible to
use for the longpoll, or any pool that supports longpoll if the current one
does not.
- Display information about longpoll when the chosen server has changed.
- Fix the bug where longpoll generated work may have been sent back to the
wrong pool, causing rejects.
- Fix a few race conditions on closing cgminer which caused some of the crashes
on exit.
- Only adjust gpu engine speed in autotune mode if the gpu is currently at the
performance level of that being adjusted.
- Various fixes for parsing/writing of configuration files.
- Do not add blank lines for threads of unused CPUs.
- Show which pool is unresponsive on startup.
- Only show GPU management menu item if GPUs are in use.
- Align most device columns in the curses display.

Okay great.

Preparing for a landing for a new release at last. Just ironing out the windows build problems that inevitably show up at the last minute.

If someone wants to pull the  master tree and check the formatting now please? My main rig just blew a mobo so I can't even check the GPU output

I'll see what I can do 

Hah, true. I love infrastructure. I hate parsing and formatting.

Don't forget some GPUs don't report fan speed in RPM and then it will show %. And when there's less chars it will show zeroes unless the outputting code gets much funkier.

Though I guess if the vast majority of users want it, then I should probably use that as a sign. That doesn't mean I've concluded that I'll do it.

Sigh. I fucking hate formatting shit...

Doesn't really matter, but I am both and don't really want to pull rank over this...

How about if I don't like the extra spaces?

gnar1ta$ has paid 5 BTC + 5 extra for general cgminer dev. Therefore 10/30 of this bounty has been paid, thanks.

RPM goes from 1 to 4 maybe 5 characters. Temp goes from 4 to 5, Mhash goes from 3 to (7?), accepted/rejects goes from 1 char to 5, 6, 7 or...

It's a never ending battle to try and find some compromise.

Spacing of even values that do exist is not exactly fixed width... Imposing a fixed width one way or another will just lead to other formatting issues :\

The rise in rejects after a longpoll appears to be a bug afterall. I believe I've fixed this in my git tree.

Good idea.

If it takes longer than 15 seconds to get a result when you first try to connect it will say down. However cgminer tries to check when a pool comes back and will recover it automatically if possible.
