The newest SB is done. Here are the main improvements:
+ Removed irrelivant min/max info boxes
+ Added an estimated time till completion for the test. (note: let me know if this ever seems to be horribly wrong. i just got it working today.)
+ Logging is now much more verbose. Added logging for even bizarre errors that should never occur. Should help with bug reports and the effort to create a monitor program.
+ Fixed a bug that would allow the cache file to be lost. This is actually just a work around for an underlying issue in XP/2k but all the same, it is important.
The main site doesn't mention it, but I also have code for multiple processor machines 80% done. Unfortuantely, I think that last 20% of the code i need will take a lot of time to get right so it is disabled in this release.
Oh, also, cEM/s is now more accurate... 10x more resolution than v0.92 and 1000x more that 0.94 and it actually takes less computation too.
To go along with that, the % meter has slightly less resolution... i have a feeling that it was using too many clock cycles updating it... it uses a much more intelligent update scheme than it employeed before.
Also, the client reports the % done if you hoover the mouse over the tray icon. :)
My next two projects are linking the site to the forum and compiling a new server that denys reports from v0.9.2 and lower.
That's about it. upgrade and post feedback.
