Rigel 1.17.1

• (XEL) Add experimental solo mining support (solo+tcp://...)
• (XEL) Performance / efficiency improvements
  Tip: locking GPU memory to 5000mhz doesn't always work well on this version. Some cards perform better with a memory offset instead.

Bug fixes:

• (UI) Miner uptime is not always reported in the log

Rigel 1.17.0

• (XEL) Add xelishash algorithm (dev fee 3%), including +ZIL
  Only stratum mode is supported https://github.com/vipor-net/xelis-stratum-protocol
  Supported pools as of now:
  • Vipor.net (pre-production pool.vipor.io:5077)
  • K1Pool (port 9351)
  • BaikalMine (port 9030)
  • XelPool (port 9351)

Rigel 1.16.3

• (PYI) Minor performance improvements (~1%)
• (IRON) Reduce the number of stale shares
• Detect which GPU crashed the miner more reliably
• (UI) Display the number of crashes a GPU caused across miner restarts
  Notes:
  • A new Err column will appear in the GPU stats table after the first crash
  • Only soft crashes are detected - the ones that can be recovered from by the built-in watchdog restarting the miner (make sure the miner is not run with --no-watchdog)
  • For API users: the new field is /devices/crash_count
• (UI) Hide Inv column if --cpu-check is not set

Bug fixes:

• (ERG+GRAM) Performance regression introduced in 1.16.2

Rigel 1.16.2

• (GRAM) Add a kernel switch for sha256ton algorithm.
  --kernel 1 (default) - best when higher power draw is not a concern
  --kernel 2 - best when (very) low power draw is preferred
  Tip: this version increases hashrate, however it may be less efficient than 1.16.1 with your OC - if that's the case, try reducing the locked core clock slightly, or select --kernel 2

Bug fixes:

• (GRAM) Job payload parsing error when mining to Hyperpool

Rigel 1.16.1

• (GRAM, CHAPA) Add sha256ton algorithm (dev fee 1%), including
  • ABEL+GRAM, ERG+GRAM, IRON+GRAM, HYP+GRAM, CFX+GRAM, +ZIL, see bat/sh scripts
    Only icemining.ca and hyperpool.pro pools are supported at this point
• --fan-control can now be set to X to let the driver/OS manage the fan
• Add --reset-oc parameter to reset all overclock settings and exit. Run as a standalone command rigel --reset-oc or rigel --reset-oc -d 0,1,....
• Add --multi-device-arg-mode parameter to allow the miner to proceed even if the number of per-GPU settings doesn't match the number of GPUs - usually happens when one of the GPUs disappears from the system (taken out for maintenance, PCIE connectivity loss etc.) but the miner is run with the same config (see usage in readme).
• (IRON) Remove --enable-fork support for ironfish algorithm. Use -a fishhash instead.
• Remove obsolete kawpow (aipg, clore, neoxa, neurai, ravencoin) and ethash (octa, powblocks) algorithm aliases. Use -a kawpow --coin COIN and -a ethash --coin COIN instead.

This version fixes GRAM/CHAPA job payload parsing that was broken in 1.16.0

Rigel 1.16.0

This version was removed. Please upgrade to 1.16.1.

Rigel 1.15.1

• (IRON) Add ironfish -> fishhash auto-switch, see this guide on how to set it up
• (RVN) Report hashrate to mining pools

Rigel 1.15.0

• (IRON) Add fishhash algorithm support (dev fee 1%) including
  • IRON+ALPH, IRON+KLS, IRON+PYI, IRON+RXD, +ZIL, see bat/sh scripts
• Add SOCKS5 proxy support (see --proxy for more info)
• Add --no-colour parameter to disable colours in the miner log
• Allow opting out of memory clock reset when building DAG by passing --dag-reset-mclock off

Bug fixes:

• (ALPH) Password field value -p is not passed to the pool making it impossible to use static difficulty when mining to Vipor.

Rigel 1.14.2

• (ABEL) Add GPU stats reporting when mining to AbelPool and zkProvers

Rigel 1.14.1

• (ABEL) Add dual and triple mining support with ALPH, IRON, KLS, PYI, and RXD (see dual-abel bat/sh script)

Bug fixes:

• Memory temperature is not displayed on 550+ drivers
