WHAT'S NEW AND CHANGE
This release contains many optimizations and bug fixes for all cryptonight currencies.
The auto configuration for AMD devices creates now double thread configs and the performance for OpenCL for these configs is due to the new interleave option strongly increased.
You can find basic fine-tuning tips for this option here.
The new experimental option auto_tune simplify scanning for the best intensity value.
Config files from 2.5.X are compatible and 2.4.X or older are NOT compatible to this release.
If you remove the old amd.txt file you will get a new version with new tuning parameter.
