History (v1.x)

v1.8.1b (04/07/05)

Benchmarks dialog: It can now be closed using the escape key
Main dialog: Added a menu item to visualize the current project using the Jmol website (Thanks to NicoV for the addition of the needed parameter)
Main dialog: Added a help menu item
Main dialog: Added menu items to open miscellaneous websites

v1.8.1 (20/03/05)

Benchmarks dialog: When opening the dialog, the project processed by the currently selected client is automatically selected
Benchmarks dialog: An average PPD value (Points per Day) is now displayed for each couple {Project/Client}
New option: The format of the ETA can now be chosen
New option: New projects can now automatically be downloaded
Bug fixed: Alt-Tab was not displaying the correct icon
Bug fixed: FahMon was not taking into account the 'Received unknown signal from OS.' and was thus falsely detecting the client as inactive
Bug fixed: An ETA was still given for completed WUs
Bug (hopefully) fixed: Inactivity should be better handled
Misc: FahMon is now compiled with Visual Studio 2005. The executable is a bit larger, but should be of better quality. I will see if this causes any problem.

v1.8b (04/03/05)

Added support for the new QMD core. You should be warned that this core do not currently generate a correct 'unitinfo.txt' file, so you will perhaps get wrong information if your client is processing a QMD WU.

v1.8 (10/01/05)

Clients configuration: The ListView now uses the same color scheme as the main dialog box
Clients configuration: The dialog box is now resizable
Update database: The average transfer rate is now displayed in the status bar
Benchmarks: A database is now managed to store the time per frame. This db is saved in a file named 'benchmarks.dat'. Times are added automatically by FahMon each time a new frame duration has been computed.
Benchmarks: Added a dialog box to view the stored benchmarks
The method used to detect inactivity has been improved and should be more reliable
The computation of the ETA now takes into account the average duration of a frame:

o It should be more accurate o An ETA can now be given for any WU that has already been analysed before for the same client

Incomplete 'runs' for Gromacs, DGromacs and Amber cores are no longer taken into account. This happened with lines such as "Completed 96283 out of 100000 steps (96)"

v1.7.3b (15/11/04)

Fixed a crash that occured when trying to display an ETA for unknown WUs when progress was equal to 0

v1.7.3 (05/11/04)

Fixed a bug in the method used to compute the ETA (it should be a little more accurate)
Added a 'standard' menu which replaces the buttons and the system menu
Added keyboard shortcuts for frequently used commands (Esc key now closes FahMon for instance)
Added a user interface to configure the list of clients to monitor
Multi View: fixed a bug that caused each client to be loaded twice at first launch
Multi View: the selected item keeps the red color if the corresponding client is inactive
Miscellaneous optimizations to decrease the starting time

v1.7.2b (14/10/04)

v1.7.2 (07/10/04)

Added an option to compute the estimated time of arrival (ETA)
Added an option to detect inactive clients

Added an option to choose if an horizontal scrollbar should be displayed in the text area
Added an option to allow only one instance of FahMon

The format of the file 'points.dat' has changed, please replace your version by the one present in the zipped archive
The name of the file which contains clients location has been changed to 'clients.cfg' (was 'FahMon.cfg'). You should rename your own file before running this new version of FahMon
