New FAH v4 clients released

[Liberator]

I can't see any other threads for this one,


FAH version 4 has been released for all operating systems.

It's a painless upgrade and I found that all WU's in progress in both console and windows versions continued with no ill effects.  

Haven't tried the Linux version yet, hopefully it's a bit more reliable now after reading the release notes. Should have it up and running in the next few days.  :unsure:

Lets Borg!

The upgrade the version 4 appears to be the final release code of the beta console version that quite a few of us have been running as there are currently now beta clients available.  Going for the upgrade now......

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.
- 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.
- Version information added to executables.


Of interest to Genomers:

- Batch networking option for G@h (Network 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. Also attempt to get new units at startup.).
- If set G@h preference, reflected in GUI title and acknowledgment message.


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.
