Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3f.

This release brings farmer tuning:

  • better thread management for plotting/farming (configurable with new CLI options)
  • replotting will only use half of the threads by default to not impact farming as much (configurable with new CLI options)
  • memory-mapped I/O was replaced with regular file operations that should fix apparent large memory usage on Windows and improve performance/reduce overhead on all platforms

Ubuntu and Windows x86-64 builds

There are two versions:

  • skylake: for Intel Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer
  • x86-64-v2: for older processors since ~2009 and some old VMs
  • older processors/VMs are no longer supported by official releases, but can still be compiled manually if desired
  • x86-64 container images are built for Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer only
