What is the 'tail-hash' in Cryptonight?
I understand cryptonight uses keccak and aes. I don't understand what the tail-hash means though.

Keccak vs Keccak-f permutation in cns008
Keccak is mentioned in cns008 (the cryptonight hash description) in two ways: First in section 3 (Scratchpad Initialization) as Keccak, and another time in section 5 (Result Calculation) as Keccak-f (the Keccak permutation).
It seems to suggest that…

CryptoNight Algorithm Keccak1600?
I've looked at this file https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/src/crypto/slow-hash.c#L543
What does it mean when it says " CryptoNight Step 1: Use Keccak1600 to initialize the 'state' (and 'text') buffers from the data. */?"

What is the difference between v7 and v8?
Only the version changes in block.major_version?
const int cn_variant = b.major_version >= 7 ? b.major_version - 6 : 0;
crypto::cn_slow_hash(bd.data(), bd.size(), res, cn_variant);
Am I right?
Is it qualified enough for anti ASIC? and Why?
Thanks.
