FAHClient V7.1.33 released (3rd Open-Beta)
by jcoffland » Mon Sep 19, 2011 9:58 pm
Beta Testers,
This release addresses many of the issues found during internal and beta testing. Some of the highlights of this release are improved GPU detection and support, improved networking communication, better OSX support and the addition of themes. There are many other minor tweaks and fixes which can be seen in the change logs below.
There is still much more work to do. Our next major goal is to get the v7 beta client ready to take over as the recommended download on the
main Folding@home download page. We are hoping to achieve this by January, if not sooner. Before this will happen we plan to resolve all the tickets currently listed in the
Open Beta Phase 2 milestone. To this end we, will be making more frequent open-beta releases over the next months.
Please continue to let us know which issues are most important to you. Our ticket triage is based mainly on three factors 1) severity, 2) implementation difficulty and 3) the importance to Folding@home donors. Although it's not always immediately obvious, your feedback is a huge factor in how we decide to allocate our development resources. The time you spend debugging and articulating your thoughts in these forums may not earn you folding points but improvements in the Folding@home software, which make it more effective, easier to use or just plain more fun, can have a huge impact on disease research.
Thank you for all your help thus far. Let's squash some bugs.
