Just follow the download link in "news - beta version 1.6.0". It has the latest build sometimes mentioned with an addendum in that thread, but often not.

Thanks, it's all we need.


Build 1141 no longer shows "calculation error" in benchmark. But calculation time and CPU load is roughly the same with and without OpenCL enabled.

Speedup seen only on big amount of files (>1000) and only on "precise" algorithm. It uses one of the working threads (Options -> Misc. -> Performance: "auto" = processor cores * 2) to work with OpenCL device and don't use CPU, all other threads do work as usually on CPU. In this method we have all power of CPU + OpenCL device.
