Sigh. I fucking hate formatting shit...

Trademark of a true kernel dev!

(that's a compliment)

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

[-ck]

I'll see what I can do 

[Proofer]

Sigh. I fucking hate formatting shit...

Heh.  Yep, I thought I sensed developer resistance.  I recognize it from the many initial reactions I've experienced when dealing with users.  The pattern is:  no way! ... hmm, I guess you could have a point ... well, maybe ... sigh; OK.

Wouldn't there be a volunteer or two to do this for you (for us)?  If not I might step up, but I'm a *nix/git newbie so there'd be some learning overhead/delay.

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

Looks good

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.

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.

Sad to report but new version of cgminer doesn't work on windows x64. I get this "--auto-gpu: unrecognized option". I get another "unrecognized option" at start upon removing --auto-gpu.

Redownload. I uploaded an incomplete build only at first.

ah.. yes, now it works! marvelous

Hi Con,

Seems like "Q" is broken on Windows, CGMINER won't exit after I press it.

I don't see my changes to the write_config code.
Did you decide they weren't safe for other users?

[bitlane]

In Windows (x32 & x64) Mixed card Rigs (ie. 5770 + 5830) will fail startup if using CGMIner to overclock......it simply won't build the new BIN files to startup, only the fist card will work.

Remove overclocks, startup ONCE, builds new BIN files for all cards/chipsets, then quit, re-apply overclock and it will work as per normal.

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.

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

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.

This is the first time I have run into the problem. 2.0.8 and everything before has worked for me.

Actually, I first noticed the problem when testing the first 2.0.8Z/API version a couple days ago.

Regardless, this miner kicks ass and if initial startup/config is all I have to worry about, I am happy.

Even though the config exists now, I still startup using BAT files so that I can set CPU affinity....BAT files still seem easier than f$cking with the config file.

[Turbor]

Works for me. Thanks a lot !

If I just kill it, CGMINER won't reset the fan and clock values to the defaults, so that's a no go. I only wanted to mention the bug.

thanks for the upgrade my friend, I will be updating all my miners tonight from 2.0.8  btw: what happened to 2.0.9?
