This is my first collaborative CPU release with psychocrypt. Here are the highlights:

New features:

  • Easier config - the miner will now suggest a config appropriate for your setup.
  • Much better cmake build script - see readme for build options
  • Better hashing method selection allowing more flexibility - want double hashing with prefetch without aes? No problem!
  • Speed boost for miners that cannot configure large pages.

Fixes:

  • Memory leak (thanks esfomeado!)
  • Bug affecting systems with 32+ cpus on Windows (thanks malafaya!)

If you don't know if you need TLS support, go with -notls version.
