Version 1.4 of MultiMiner is now available as a Public release. This rolls up the changes found in the 1.3 Pre-releases, including: - BFL ASICs officially supported
- Official support for BF1 devices (Blue / Red Fury)
- Added support for using the CoinWarz API for coin information
- Fixed errors checking for cgminer updates (due to their new 3.6.6-1 versioning pattern)
- Fixed errors with cgminer 3.8+ (due to their no longer shipping cgminer-nogpu)
- Don't attempt to pass --intensity arguments to cgminer 3.8+
- The option to Disable GPU mining was not working in bfgminer 3.3+
- Fixed compatibility issues with bfgminer 3.3.0
- Will not prompt to upgrade to bfgminer 3.7 (3.7 will be a breaking change)
- An optional notification is now displayed when a block is found
- Added support for specifying a stratum port (in addition to the existing getwork port) for the built in Stratum Proxy (under advanced miner settings)
- Bug fixes

Version 2.0 is now available as a Public release. This includes many changes and improvements, including: - Support for cgminer has been removed
- Support for bfgminer 3.7 has been added (and is the minimum supported version)
- It is now possible to to mine several different coins across several different USB devices (previously this was troublesome as USB devices may be in use)
- It is now possible to mine with both Block Erupters and Blue / Red Fury simultaneously
- Added the ability to expand and collapse the amount of detail shown on the main screen
- Devices are now grouped by kind (GPU, CPU, USB, Proxy)
- Added the ability to view mining devices in a list, tile, icons, or details
- A Restart button has been (re)introduced when mining
- Mining is no longer automatically restarted by MultiMiner due to configuration changes (use the Restart button instead)
- Newly discovered devices default to Bitcoin
- Separate processes are used for mining GPU & CPU versus USB & Proxy (for stability)
- Added support for CPU mining (if it is enabled in bfgminer)
- Improvements to the Getting Started wizard
- Previous mining history is loaded on startup
- It is now possible to select multiple devices
- Per-device settings now do a better job of "sticking" when devices are added or removed
- Improved device descriptions
- MultiMiner will no longer prompt to automatically upgrade to major new releases (e.g. from 1.0 to 2.0)
- Migrated to Semantic Versioning (major.minor.patch.build)

You could try installing bfgminer or cgminer yourself first. MultiMiner only installs it if not present. There are instructions here: http://thread.xgminer.comThanks! That fixed the startup problem, now the issue I am having is it is crashing constantly with this error: 11/27/13 11:59:39.048 AM MultiMiner.Win[66126]: CGSDeviceSynchronize: Invalid device window

I'm not familiar with that one, though from some Googling it does sound like a Mono issue. To be honest, while MultiMiner works well for me on OS X and Linux, the primary OS (for now) is Windows.

There's a small update up - v2.0.1 - mostly addressing minor bugs in the initial 2.0 release. - Show temperature for ASICs that report it
- Changed wording to "Scan Hardware" to remain consistent with bfgminer (--scan)
- Various bug fixes
Thanks for the feedback folks ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Upgraded to 2.0 but now it no longer detects any hardware attached...
It took a few restarts and leaving it sitting for a while but eventually found my GPUs. However with the same intensity etc I am getting poorer results than CGminer..

Can you provide some details? - What cards?
- What command line arguments?
- What version of cgminer?
You can still download version 1.4 if you need cgminer support. However, as you know they no longer support GPUs or scrypt of any kind. There really is not a good clean way to keep supporting both bfgminer and cgminer. My suggestion would be to either use 1.4 if you must use cgminer or encourage other developers to contribute to the GPU and scrypt code in bfgminer so that it gets improved.

I'm assuming 1.4 won't be updated any longer, which I understand based on your prior messages, but I just want to make sure that I should shut off updates on my rigs? Obviously, I don't need CGminer or Multiminer update messages, as none of the new versions will work with my setup.
I'll keep using this though, as it's been rock solid until something else comes along. Would love to switch to 2.0, but CGminer is the only choice I have at the moment, as I'm not taking a big hit on performance just so I can use the latest version of multiminer.
Given the current profitability of mining using GPUs, I doubt it will be long before something comes out to support. I mean calculating my ROI these days is better than porn.

I'll update 1.4 if there are any bugs or anything serious. For now 1.4 should not prompt to upgrade to 2.0 and should also not prompt to upgrade to bfgminer 3.7 I'll keep using this though, as it's been rock solid until something else comes along. Would love to switch to 2.0, but CGminer is the only choice I have at the moment, as I'm not taking a big hit on performance just so I can use the latest version of multiminer.
If you have time can you give me some examples of the arguments you are using, the models of cards, etc? I have a handful of 7950s and never saw a big performance difference between bfgminer and cgminer. Given the current profitability of mining using GPUs, I doubt it will be long before something comes out to support. I mean calculating my ROI these days is better than porn.
I sure hope so! It seems like a really bad time to ditch GPU and scrypt mining...

If you were previously using cgminer then you need to install the right drivers for your devices: Erupter drivers are here: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspxBF1 drivers are here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/819me4zvdju8lyg/bfgminerWin.zip (from this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319419.0) cgminer and bfgminer use incompatible drivers for USB devices. Any time you switch between them you need to remove the old drivers and install the new. CPUs will not be detected unless you use a version of bfgminer with CPU support enabled. As for why bfgminer would not detect your GPUs that I don't know. Try running the following: bfgminer -S opencl:auto -d?

This is also what Luke said when I showed him the error. Crazyearner indicated this was all working with bfgminer before 3.7 though.
