Not sure any of those fixes/additions effect me in any way, but nice job

Will install it later.

Nice work! It's good to have someone doing some proper development on FahMon.

Will make the change later on.

As long as you don't blame me for it

I like the new features, good work young man.

The Windows version has a little trouble with the VMWare Ubuntu Install, I get a teeny error message although it still works fine. I shall investigate.

Other than that, top marks and go to the top of the class.

Ok, first I apologize to all those who downloaded the borked version of fahmon (2.2.1), I've now fixed the bugs and released 2.2.1a

Reverted Win32 build back to wxWidgets 2.6.3 as 2.8.4 appeared to cause file access problems for some users
Altered projects database conversion system to work correctly

Those of you who had the misfortune of downloading 2.2.1, will have to update their projects database to restore the correct deadline values.

Wow, that was quick.

The new Windows 2.2.1a works perfectly with the VMWare Ubuntu install now.

Is it my imagination or have we now got cunning shading and slightly different colours for the indicators, it looks much better anyway.

Good work.

That's good to hear, several people on the fcf noticed the file-time problem on network shares too. (Stupid wxwidgets).

Good work.

Yes the colours has all been brightened up a bit, I thought they looked a bit dull in the previous versions. Glad you like them.

Can someone post a screenie of the new colours?

I'm sat on a comfy sofa with a whisky in hand, i can't really be arsed going upstairs and installing the new version

SiriusB · 13 Jun 2007 at 23:44

Aggrivatingly slow for me too.

WoZZeR · 13 Jun 2007 at 23:49

Forums OK for me.

The best new feature has to be the PPD options, being able to choose between 1 frame, 3 frames or all frames. Very handy indeed, it gets rid of weird averages when you get a rogue fast frame or in my case the end of a SMP WU and the GPU Client speeds up making the PPD go up unrealistically.

Nice, thanks.

OK just installed this bad boy and it's looking good.

Just as an aside your instructions should be:

Code:

cd path/to/fahmon/[b]src[/b]
scons -c
scons

For the sake of those people who may not engage mr brain. Like me.
