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?
Well if you need to know the truth ... The system goes on-line December, 23rd. V2.09 begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time. In a panic, ckolivas tries to pull the plug. That is the real reason on how ckolivas motherboard got toasted.

For instance, in this cas, the first section (2) is the major version, the second section (1) is the minor version, and the third section (0) is the fix/patch version. IOW, it could have went on to 2.0.24 and it's equally plausible that after 2.1.2, 2.2.0 will come out.

And if you want the HBO-Special-Premiering-Tonight version, I'd lay 12:1 that the JSON API addition was the reason for incrementing the minor version.

Q: Can you change the autofan/autogpu to change speeds in a different manner? A: The defaults are sane and safe. I'm not interested in changing them further. The starting fan speed is set to 85% in auto-fan mode as a safety precaution, but if a specific fan speed has been set, it will use that first before adjusting automatically. This reminded me that there's something I didn't understand about the fairly recent posts on this subject: If I want to set a specific starting fan speed, I would use the gpu-fan option, right? But if I also use auto-fan, what would cgminer use as a permissible range for the fan speed percentage? E.g., suppose I want a range of 0-85, starting speed of 50, and auto-fan. Can that be done? Perhaps I don't understand what "has been set" refers to in the quoted README excerpt.

Well that was some unexpected humour from the bitcoin mining crowd. I grinned ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) 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).

You either set a single value which is the starting speed for auto-fan or it's a static value without auto-fan. Or you set a range which is used by auto-fan.

If I set a single value (starting speed) and auto-fan, what will be the range of speeds that auto-fan will use?

I do, too. For me, dumping core and analysing it in gdb suggests a bug in ATI's OpenCL driver.
