MINERS
⛏ NBMiner v39.6
* significant improvement ethash LHR mode: 
    - higher hashrate, more stable LHR unlocking
    - default LHR mode changes to lhr-mode 1 for LHR GPUs
    - default values of LHR mode increased, lhr-mode 1 -> 74, lhr-mode 2 -> 71
    - added 3 new options for LHR auto-tuning control: lhr-reduce-value, lhr-reduce-time, lhr-reduce-limit in most cases you do not need to change them, see the miner's manual for details
* adapted for ergo  the 3 new LHR options as for ethash
* disabled SNI extension for SSL connections by default, can be enabled with enable-sni option
* removed support cuckatoo & cuckatoo32 algos
⛏ NanoMiner v3.4.1
* added support zombie mode on firopow for AMD GPUs, for Nvidia GPUs it was introduced in v3.4.0
⛏ lolMiner v1.34a
* bug fixes:
    - added further epochs to the DAG correction detection/table: this can resolve issues with defect shares that appeared in 1.34 or earlier with the start of epoch 450
    - slightly changed internal LHR parameters of 3070 ti & 3080 that can affect to improve stability by this plus a small speedup

MINERS
⛏ PhoenixMiner v5.8c
* fixed crash when mining on AMD RX 6x00 series cards
* removed error messages when mining on fanless Nvidia cards
⛏ T-Rex v0.24.5
* introduced double-buffer feature for autolykos2 which increase pool-side hashrate by 1-4%: if GPU memory is enough to hold two memory buffers miner now generates the dataset for the next ERGO block before it arrives
* added hashrate reporting on kawpow, firopow to the mining pool
* added devices-info parameter to list available CUDA devices
* bug fixes

MINERS
⛏ PhoenixMiner v5.8b 
* implemented optimized kernels for AMD RX6600XT cards
* added support for the latest AMD Linux drivers
* kernels for AMD Polaris changed to support latest drivers: it's very small speed improvement < 0.1% on average
* other fixes and small improvements
⛏TeamRedMiner v0.8.6.2
* added a synthetic algo mtp_firopow that will use the correct algo given the system time and shut down the miner at the time of the Firo fork on Oct 26, 2021; 
* split the ethash and progpow algos into separate binaries, mainly for some Vegas that ran into stability issues going from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6; 
* added support autolykos2 for Tonga GPUs; 
* changed the default SSL behavior to not provide a SNI hostname during handshake: this simplifies running tunnels against TLS/SSL ports on public pools
⛏ lolMiner v1.34 
* rework of LHR semi-unlocker: improved performance of RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti by up to 2%, generally allowing a bit less core clock; auto tuning will now be quicker to reasonable hashrates; improved stability on found parameters; 
* added support of RTX A6000 / RTX A5000 / RTX A4000 (and future RTX A2000) Nvidia workstation GPUs; 
* reduced RAM usage of Nvidia Ethash solver; 
* other improvements and minor bug fixes: see full miner's changelog
⛏ SRBMiner-Multi v0.8.1 
* added algorithms: firopow, kawpow, progpow variants for mining EPIC/SERO/VEIL/VBK for CPU/GPU mining, fee 0.85%,
* added algorithms: astrobwt, minotaurx for CPU mining, fee 0.85%; 
* lowered devfee for lyra2v2_webchain algorithm to 0.85%; 
* small improvements on 'autolykos2' algorithm for RX550 & RX560 GPU's; 
* added shares statistics per GPU; 
* other improvements and minor bug fixes: see full miner's changelog
⛏NanoMiner v3.3.14 
* update to fulfill Nicehash requirements
⛏ miniZ v1.8y4rc2
* added support for RTX 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti LHR GPUs, on ethash.
* improved performance for mining locked LHR GPUs while mining ETH.
