v 2.17 . . . What's the difference?

[Oni]

Just curious as to the differences between 2.15 and 2.17 if any.

[fearless]

The 2.17 timestamps so you can track how long each frame is done. I don't know of any other changes, but that one's fairly neat.

It also fixes the thread priority thing that was stopping some people from running seti or another project at the same time as F@H. There are a few others but I do not know what they are. It seemed to fix some problems some people were having.

here, copied from the readme file:

2.17:
- Improved networking code
- Added timestamps to log file (NOTE: these are GMT, i.e. London)
- Added "View log file" feature to About Window
- Added "Pause when current unit completed" feature to systray menu
- Fixed OpenGL "left behind objects" bug
- Config window reinstated for first startup
- Mouse cursor is now (usually!) hidden in fullscreen mode
- Fixed bug: windows client froze if couldn't contact server for ID
- Clicking on systray icon when main window already open now closes it
- Default proxy behavior set to not use any proxy (previously used IE)
