ChangelogHi,
The awaited v.4 client is ready to be tried out now in prerelease form. It has numerous improvements from the last of the v.3 clients.
You can get it at http://folding.stanford.edu/beta/beta.html (change log is also there). As in the past, we'll announce this in the Announcements section too, maybe later today. Right now, only Linux and Windows versions are up, but thanks to Adam, Mac will be coming along shortly.
Please let me know any problems you run into. Hope you enjoy it.

| Changes in F@h Client v. 4.00 -------------------------------------- - Configurable minimum checkpointing frequency (3-30 minutes). (In GUI, controlled with a slider.)* - If client run with verbosity of at least 5, FahCore_78 will print out a message whenever a timered checkpoint occurs.* - -configonly flag added to configure then exit. - -oneunit flag added to exit after completing one unit. - -forceSSE flag added. Returns -forceasm to its former meaning of forcing assembly generally, and takes on the function of forcing SSE specifically. - Warnings printed if -forceasm/-forceSSE flags given. - Benchmarking not done except at start of normal operation (for example, not if only configuring, listing queue, deleting unit, etc.). - Warning if attempt to run client with Machine ID of already running client (catches most common cases, including if running same client twice) - Web site printed updated. - Upon finishing a unit, if fails to return the result but succeeds in getting new work, immediately tries sending all results again. - Checks user name and team number for legality of use in statistics. (In GUI, gives popup error). - Queue info properly outputted to FAHlog.txt. - "Ask before connecting" change on Linux -- ignores typeahead and asks for "C" - Proxy password written out in binary (upon reconfiguration) - Assignment/work server request authentication - Send all message altered ("sent x of y" if x not 0, or "no units...") - CPU usage default of 100 printed out during Configuration. - Tags in MyFolding page changed to better adhere to HTML standard - Maximum machine IDs raised to 8. - Upload and download bandwidths estimated to send to AS. - If fails to post data, includes server and port in message. Also outputs HTTP status code (before this was only done if I.E. settings used). - Bug fixed where performance fraction could exceed 1. Of interest to Genomers: - Batch networking option for G@h (network only when less than 2 units ready to work on or more than 5 results to return, and when network, both get up to 10 units and send any results). - If set G@h preference, reflected in GUI title and acknowledgment message. Windows specific: - Version information added to executables. Windows GUI specific: - Can select and display any GIF file as a logo, and set a URL for the logo to link to. - Can add any text to displayed alongside the program title (perhaps something related to your company or team). - Browser support for more non-Explorer default browsers. - Bug fixed where current.xyz sometimes wrongly deleted. * Items with an asterisk require FahCore_78.exe v. 1.53 to be functional -- certain work servers are already forcing downloads of this core. |
