This release supports the cryptonight_v8 POW of the upcoming Monero fork on 18th Oct 2018.
Use the currency setting monero for automatic switching on the next fork.
A bug which broke AMD HD6XXX GPUs is fixed.
We dropped NVIDIA Fermi support in the precompiled Windows binaries. The minimum required CUDA Version for NVIDIA GPUs is 9.0.
The precompiled binaries includes OpenSSL 1.1.1 for a better TLS compatibility.
You can now use with AMD Rocm 1.9.X.
Config files from 2.5.0 are compatible and 2.4.X or older are NOT compatible to this release.
We would like to thank the community for their tests and contributions to xmr-stak.
