Thanks. Plan to once a stable release is out.
2.7.4 gets me ~10% less hashrate than all recent versions (including 2.7.1, 2.7.0 and 2.6.5 for fresh comparisons) on a 5870 with SDK 2.1 (ati-drivers 11.6) on Gentoo amd64.Didn't test 2.7.2 or 2.7.3.

New unstable version: 2.7.4
Fixed some shit. Added some shit. Will only call it stable once it's tested by others.
What a rotten day

Full changelog
I upgraded from 2.7.0 to 2.7.3. Two of my miners crashed w/o me noticing it.
On 2.7.4 now. First thing I noticed is the efficiencies are consistent now across my miners. Instead of some being way of the charts, and others just off the charts, now they are all off the charts like they are supposed to be.
All using local instances of p2pool.

2.7.4 is saying that it's 2.6.6 and it won't start properly for me.
Re-uploaded with correct binaries. August 23, 2012, 04:05:36 PM
cgminer detects stale shares and does not submit them. However, there are pools which credits for stale shares. Is there an option how to force cgminer to try to submit all shares?
It eventually gives up even with submit stale if it has already tried sending them at least once. Otherwise you could end up with a billion shares waiting in the queue, out of memory and crash.

Thank you for all the time and energy you put into cgminer! Hopefully this will make the day a little less rotten:

Just succeeded in compiling 2.7.4 finally. Took me a while to figure out how to compile with ADL support. 
Everything is running great so far and my WU has increased 0.4 from 2.7.3. I noticed one weird thing though; I tried accessing my pool info through the API and it keeps giving me this error:
I'm not sure if this is because of something I missed when compiling though.

cgminer detects stale shares and does not submit them. However, there are pools which credits for stale shares. Is there an option how to force cgminer to try to submit all shares?
Yes it submits stale shares by default.There is an option to stop it from submitting stale shares: --no-submit-stale
That change happened in 2.3.6 back on 29-April

It looks to me like cgminer has stale share submission enabled by default now. I know that some pools (like p2pool) tell cgminer if it should submit stales or not.

Did you compile it or did you download the binary?
Edit: that error says you didn't put in the new files with 2.7.4
I downloaded the binary. I deleted every file that was in the folder before besides my config file and my kernel and moved 2.7.4 over.Edit: that error says you didn't put in the new files with 2.7.4
I've checked the 2.7.4 linux binary release and it contains a 2.6.6 executable but the rest of the files are 2.7.4
Have to wait 'til the morning then - it's 2:30am here and I know ckolivas just went to sleep.
(or use 2.6.6)

2.7.4
An Xubuntu 11.04 x86_64 executable is in my github downloads called cgminer-2.7.4a
https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/downloads
For anyone who didn't realise, it's just the executable file to put in place of 'cgminer'
Nothing else needs changing
First get and extract the full binary release from ckolivas and then copy my file in place of 'cgminer'
No problems so far on my BFL or my 2xGPU+2xIcarus
The same configure options as cvolivas' binary version
In case anyone was wondering:
CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./configure --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-ztex --enable-modminer --enable-scrypt
---
I have also added a WinXP cgminer-2.7.4a.exe
This ONLY has BFL + ICA (as below) thus it doesn't need a computer with OpenCL on it
CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./configure --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce
You will most likely also need the windowsdlls.zip file there in my downloads since some of my *.dll might be slightly different to ckolivas
