Oh, I didn't need to do that with 5.03. Didn't realise they'd changed the file location with this update.

...and stop spying on people's names in the Fah logs! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for your help. :oops:

FahMon 2.3.4 Released

FahMon 2.3.4 is now available for download here: http://fahmon.net/download.html

What's new in this release:

* This version fixes the nasty bug in 2.3.3 which cause clients to fail to update after non-specific periods of time. This was caused by a typo in the update queue handler which now works properly.
* CPU usage has been reduced slightly when refreshing clients thanks to a re-worked message logger.
* clientstab.txt is now tab-delimited. This has no effect on FahMon, but may break compatibility with other tools that read this file.

As always if you find any bugs in FahMon please report them using trac

Complete changelog:

Code: Select all

v2.3.4 (04/11/08)

    General

    * Fixed missing core support.
    * Fixed clients never reloading.
    * Improved CPU usage by altering message log routines.
    * Altered clientstab.txt to be tab delimited.

    Windows

    * Installer now cleans up old config folder which is no longer used.
    * Release generator language support fixed.

Dear Uncle,
Would it be possible to make FahMon detect EUE's (esp. for the GPU2-client) and give a visible warning? Maybe in an extra column, so you can show if there have been EUE's and how many. It would probable by usefull to be able to configure the timespan that FahMon verifies: i.e. if you're able to check you system regularly, you only want to be notified of EUE's in the last few hours. Whereas for others it may be usefull to see all EUE's in the last 48h's or week.

TIA,

Corné

I've thought about it a little more and it may be better to add a this feature in the [View]- or [Tools]-menu. Something like 'Parse the logfile for EUE's'. The output could be a table with the columns 'Client-type (CPU, SMP, etc.), Core, Project, date/time'.

T.I.A.,

Corné

Being compatible with Vista broke that.

I will be one of the troglodytes that stays with Windows XP Pro SP2 and an earlier version of this fine application.
Thank you for your continuing work on this project uncle_fungus.
In no way did I intend to disparage your efforts.

Fungus - Any chance of 2.3.5 with the GPU2 Core 13 to come up with something other than 'unknown'??

Or better still - being able to rename it in a config file? I'd like to call it crapsicle or something.

core 13 should already be supported. That's something I fixed in 2.3.4 since it was broken in 2.3.3. You may still have to update the projects database to get FahMon to actually "see" the data.
