release 2.4.4

This release fixes some critical bugs in the job consumption part of the miner. It could be that the miner skipped a job if the pool is sending very fast new jobs.

Config files from 2.4.3 are compatible to this release.

Changelog:

vtamara and others added 30 commits April 19, 2018 10:07
Add turtlecoin as a config option
- fix that to much OpenCL calls whre used if cache is disabled
- add algorithm `cryptonight_lite_v7_xor`
- update documentation
changes printed algorithm names to algorithms exposed to the used instead of internal used names
fix that cli option `--noAMDCache`
solve #1494

- add algorithm `cryptonight_v7_stellite` (internal named: `cryptonight_stellite`)
- initialize miner_work iPoolId in the default constructor with the invalid pool id
- move definition of `pool_data` into an own file
Trigger event with a new job after the current pool job is updated.
…Sock

fix possible race condition in jpsock
Some pools or proxys are sending multiple times in row the same job to the miner.
This PR will extent the miner to trigger an socket error if job with the same `jobID` than the current active job is received.

Move motd evaluation before the possibil part where a job is ignored.
ignore duplicated equal job from pools
fix #1505

- fix possible deadlock of the executor thread
- fix racecondition during the job consumation
- remove switch_work in all classes `minethd`
- move `consume_work` into `globalStates`
add log class from Will Zhang:

user read write locks to be sure that no job is consumend during the job update

- reformat `read_write_lock.h`
- fix spelling issue
- move job id increase of the write to the buttom
If CUDA 9.X is used and the miner is compiled for `sm_70` and used with Volta GPUs than the miner
deadlocks if `threads` is not a multiple of `32`.

- use `__activemask()` to get all active lanes
The login result of a pool contains the first job for the miner.
In the case where the pool is sending very fast after the pool login result
a new job it is possible that the newer job is processed faster than the job within the login result.
The result will be that the miner is mining an older job instead the newest (last received).

- enumerate all received messages
- trace the message id of the last procssed job
- skip all jobs where the message id is older than the last procesed id
Add options to set wait/work time for benchmark
Update for CUDA 9.2 Toolkit
- avoid that a nonce which not fits to the current job is used (check jobId after start nonce is consumed)
- move jobId check into the if condition to get a new bunch of nonces
- CPU: add jobId validation after the start nonce is consumed
The define of `_mm256_set_m128i` is not needed and avoid intel compiler throws a warning about it.
version prepere for the next release
AMD has removed the AMD APP SDK links from the website. The AMD employes in the AMD formum posted links to there Dropbox where the SDK can be downloaded)
fix broken AMD APP SDK download links
