Lol Miner v1.05
This is the announcement thread for lolMiner 1.05 a multi algorithm Equihash / Beam & Grin miner with focus on AMD GPUs (OpenCL based).
Note it will run on most Nvidia GPUs, too but the speed and stability may vary.

Changelog
Version 1.03
- New Beam Hash III 4G solver, replaces the 6G solver on AMD Vega GPUs and earlier (+5 - 8% performance on RX 580 & Vega GPUs)
- New Beam Hash III 6G solver on ROCm and for AMD Navi GPUs (+8-10% performance on Navi cards)
- Fixed a bug with the API (--apiport) crashing the miner in Windows on startup
Version 1.02
- Disabled Beam Hash III auto switcher. --coin BEAM now pointing to --algo BEAM-III - this should resolve some config problems
- Fixed a bug that made the miner not starting BEAM-III on RX 550 4G GPUs
- Fixed a bug that made the miner not start mining Cortex
- Fixed a bug with Beam Hash I 3G solver (miners did not find it)
- Fixed a bug not writing a log file when --log on was given
- Fixed a bug with parameter --digits (was missing in 1.0 and 1.01)
- Re-Enabled parameter --port, but with a big red deprecation warning. Will resolve some 1.0 config problems
Version 1.01
- Improved performance of Beam Hash III on all 6G+ cards (by about 4-5%)
- Added 3G* / 4G solver for Beam Hash III (will not work in Windows 10 and some older AMD cards)
- Fixed an issue with mining Beam Hash III to NiceHash
- --tls now allowed to be used multiple times to configure it for each pool separately
- If found the miner will now load the user_config.json file per default again (fixes issues with minerstat)
- Fixed temperature and power monitoring for VII and Navi on Windows 10 (Fan speed may still be broken ... work in progress)
Version 1.0
- lolMiner got a restructure how to configure it and also features a 2nd, more simple config file format.
- Added optimizes solvers for Beam Hash III for AMD & Nvidia cards. Use --coin BEAM to auto switch from BeamHash II to BeamHash III on fork (approx June 28th, requires 8G card) or select Beam Hash III solver manually with --algo BEAM-III (requires 6G card)[/size]
- Added performance improved (+ >10%) GRIN-C29M solver for 8G GPUs
- Added Cuckaroo-30 solver to mine Cortex Ai (--coin CTXC or --algo C30CTX) for all 8G and higher GPUs
- Added support for non-integer difficulty on Grin
- Reactivated support for Beam Hash I including support for personalization strings.
- AMD Navi does now work on all supported algorithms
- Removed Grin Auto-Switcher (C31 is obsolete now and the switcher would not work on next Grin fork)
- Removed support for MNX (Minex Coin project is dead / abandoned by developers)
- Added temperature, consumption and fan speed readings in API and long statistics
- Internal bug fixes
