Release History

• 0.x - 1.2
  initial pre-release applications, Linux only.
• 1.3
  Initial public release, Linux first, then Windows. No source optimizations up to now, only compatibility edits.
• 1.41
  1.3 plus some hand-coded assembly tweaks by Michael Harrer. This version worked best on Core 2 systems for a long while.
• 2.0
  Total redesign, many source-level optimizations by Ben Herndon and Josef W. Segur, with some code from Alex Kan ported from OS X (chirping)
• 2.1
  Development/Pre-Release versions
• 2.2
  Building on 2.0's function benchmark framework, additional functions were included, existing ones improved. Some accuracy improvements vs. 2.0 as well. This revision finally beat 1.41 on Core 2 systems, especially on the "dreaded" 58.7 WUs.
• 2.3
  Development/Pre-Release version, working on improving the user experience - "stuttering" during benchmarks as well as some new functions to use for crunching
• 2.4 (upcoming)
  Release 2.4 will bring some Multibeam WU adjustments as well as the 2.3 new features listed above.
• 2.9 (upcoming)
  Development/Pre-Release version, will be based on the new 5.20+ codebase, when it's available for all hardware platforms.
• 3.0 (upcoming)
  Release version 3.0 will happen when apps based on the new codebase are mature (and quick) enough to replace the 2.4 release ones.
