This release is focused on performance increase / bugfixes
As always, make sure to unpack into a new folder. Never reuse an existing oclHashcat folder (because of the cached kernels).
Added Algorithms
Logging support
There's a new basic logfile support. It's just a start to find out if users like it or not. The log file is fomatted in a way that it is easily readable by human. The format hence is easy to parse too, each line contains a key-value pair separated by a tab character.
There will be more attributes coming in over time such as statistical information as speed and other useful information like cracked hashes. At this time, it's mostly default values, user-changed parameters, filenames of dictionary and hash.
Performance increase: New sm_50 instructions, NVidia only
With the GTX 750ti model, NVidia made an extreme move into our direction. This is the first card that supports the new sm_50 low-level instructions. For detailed information about the new sm_50 instructions, Ivan Golubev wrote an excellent blog post on here: https://www.golubev.com/blog/?p=291
To make it short, in the past AMD had a strong advantage over NVidia with their instructions BFI_INT and BIT_ALIGN. Those instructions are very useful in crypto. NVidia draw the level with the new LOP3.LUT and the SHF instruction (that was already introduced with sm_35).
Actually, the LOP3.LUT has advantage over BFI_INT. It's much more flexible and can be used in other cases as well. Additionally, NVidia added another instruction "IADD3" that can add 3 integers all at once and store the result in a fourth integer. This instruction is also very useful in crypto.
The GTX 750ti is a low-budget card, but with the next high-end card that bases on sm_50 NVidia it could be a game-changer. Also note that NVidia has much better multihash performance, not to mention the driver...
Here's how performance increased with the new low-level optimizations (yes, they will work with any other future high-end sm_50 card):

Performance increase: Workaround bad integration of 64-bit integer operations, AMD and NVidia
All the 64-bit based algorithms like SHA512, Keccak etc dropped in performance with each new driver a little bit. So it was hard to notice. GPUs instructions operate still on 32-bit only, so the 64-bit mode is emulated. But the way how it is emulated was somehow broken. I was able to pinpoint the problem where the biggest drop came from and I managed to workaround it. For NVidia it took me a little PTX hack, for AMD luckily there was no binary hack required. While this optimization is not for all algorithm as the sm_50 optimization was, therefore it works on all cards, not just the sm_50. Not much to say, let the numbers do the talk:
Changes for GCN hd7xxx / R9 series
