Now that I know it really irritates you, you know it'll never stop

Yep, I use WinXP for my testing (VM and kids computer are WinXP)
It may be helpful to folks to put that in the download directory as well.
Thanks,
Sam
Edit: the Zadig version in the downloads didn't work with Server 2008 32 bit either. I haven't tried the XP version with it yet to see if that works or not.

Kano and ckolivas,
Did you guys know that there is a WinXP only version of Zadig?
I setup my XP Pro laptop to be backup to my Win7 mining rig and found that the Zadig in your download directory is incompatible with WinXP and it doesn't do a check to tell you that. So I found the XP only version and that got me off the races with my backup PC.
I'm wondering if that is part of the trouble some Windoze users are having with the Zadig utility?
The XP Only version can be had from this link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/zadig_xp_v2.0.1.160.7z/download
Thanks,
Sam

It seemed like an odd change to me, so I just assumed it was taking the wrong value from somewhere. Thanks for pointing it out.
You are not alone with that. I can't really see the point of changing that but it's cons decision.
(but we both have made comment about it before in IRC)There will be difficulty changes while mining
The old A value was simply the number of shares found - but there is no way to calculate what that number actually represents other than 'shares'. On top of that, U was even worse coz that was based on A
If you are still mining at 1diff then the number there wont really matter what it says

Having some very odd issues with the recent version. My "Accepted" count is incrementing by 256 for each block.
Did you read the announce?

P.S. - Sent a small thanks to your 148KkS2vgVi4VzUi4JcKzM2PMaMVPi3nnq address for all your work on this in the name of GPU miners.

I have an Issue with 3.3.2 and 5870 cards. It makes HW errors. (same clk as worked without err 3.3.1)
I am pritty sure that its not a HW issue, since HW err are also when downclk.
I use: TC 5760 I 19 Driver 12.8

If you have been GPU mining, you've always been using his app ... no matter what name it has
August 12, 2013, 12:41:47 AM
In literally the very previous message to the one you just posted you'll see that I've committed changes that decrease CPU usage.
Ck- Thanks for the update. I'm thankful you do still support the GPU miners, and a donation is long overdue from me, as I have been using your app a couple months now and it's beyond valuable.
On a side note, this isn't really a bug, but very important to stress, you MUST have the --scrypt statement prior to the --intensity 20 (or anything above 13) with your new version, as you added the intensity lockdown for non-scypt logic. This caused an issue in an app I'm trying out that passed the --scrypt statement at the end, so it wouldn't allow the --intensity of 20, or anything above 13, until I moved the switch before the --intensity statement.
Again, not a bug at all, as you would think --scrypt would come first anyways, but just a heads up in the event other apps might not watch the order in which they pass switches.

Guys, can you guys explain to me why CGminer use lots of CPU power while mining with BFL ASICs compared to BFGminer?
I'm using RPi as a host and the difference is absurd.
60GHs SC with BFG miner uses ~5% while CGminer uses 20%
Anyone please test to confirm this. I have tested with different rigs and setup. Same result.
2 things. I'm using RPi as a host and the difference is absurd.

In literally the very previous message to the one you just posted you'll see that I've committed changes that decrease CPU usage. Low power devices running asic hashrates is new so this issue has only recently showed up, and I've aggressively started optimising that now. The CPU usage is lower now and a new version will be noticeably so on these low power devices.
The second is that because there is no driver between cgminer and the USB device, all the CPU usage that is normally attributed to the driver and/or hidden from the user is now all shown as cgminer CPU time - this won't go away but doesn't mean the system is using more resources, they're just attributed differently.

Site maintenance is over, site is back online.
Git users may want to download the latest git version. There are some CPU usage improvements for both stratum and GBT that make a big difference when mining at ASIC hashrates on p2pool.

Don't run cgminer out of a folder on the desktop. You run in to Windows permissions issues, which can bugger up cgminer.
Move the cgminer folder to the root of a drive, and run it from there, it'll work.

3.3.2 just cant load my config file anymore. Seems to be issue with int 19 and 20 (wont load it but still can set it). - Any way to avoid Int limit and to make newest cgminer to load file again?
Add --scrypt to your command line. 3.3.2 added a sanity check for intensities, which currently isn't detecting scrypt mode if you are setting it from the config file.
cgminer-3.3.2-windows\cgminer.exe --scrypt --config C:\Users\mining12\Desktop\cgminer.conf <--- does not work
huh it does work... still means error in config file but then works
However this max int setting limit is kinda retarded; it would be cool to let miners the freedom.
