Okay, here's some feedback. Dropping "donate" buttons in the two posts which serve to introduce the project seems to me to be out of line. I'm sure you spent a lot of time developing this platform and wouldn't mind recoving some money for your effort, but how about restraining those impulses and keeping the solicitations for funds on your site?

I hate to get off on the wrong foot here with you guys... but I feel like you are the one who is out of line with your response.

Welcome to the TR forums and thank you for creating another FaH monitoring program. There has been an empty space since Larry "TheWeatherman" quit supporting Electron Microscope (I hope he is OK), although I've managed to get by with FahMon.
There has been moderator discussion related to your introductory post. And like sluggo, I feel the inclusion of a donate button in your first post is a bit spamish. just brew it!'s opinion is to let it stand, however the chief administrator said, "If it was a program that wasn't about folding, would it be considered spam? I'd tend to think yes..." While I feel that free to download software presented in the appropriate forum is not spam, the chief does have a point and is the chief.
The Electron Microscope download page had a donate button and I was happy to donate for a program I used on many folding systems. The point being that many people consider a donate button in the introductory post to be poor form. I hope you take this in the spirit of the constructive feedback you asked to receive.

New Version: 0.9.0 - Revision 548 - Download
A little over a year in the making... I proud to annouce a major update to HFM.NET! The premier feature of this update is the addition of Folding@Home v7 Client support. This includes v7 support for HFM's Benchmarking, Work Unit History, and Web Generation features. You can't find similar features anywhere else with any other monitoring software, including FAHControl. In addition to v7 support, HFM still has all the same v6 support you've enjoyed over the last few years. It's the best of both worlds! Making this happen was quite an undertaking and required a partial rewrite of HFM. So while things look generally the same on the surface it's very much a new day for HFM.
Please note that your user preferences will be reset by this new version. This is a one time issue and your preferences will persist with future upgrades.

New Version: 0.9.1 - Revision 595 - Download
Here's the good news and a couple important items.
HFM now requires the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile on Windows or Mono 2.8+ (2.10 recommended) on Linux.
A 32-bit only package is now being offered. This build has "x86" in the file name. The only difference in this build vs. the existing distribution, now with "Any CPU" in the file name, is that the "x86" build will run as a 32-bit process on a 64-bit OS. The builds are mutually exclusive and cannot be installed side-by-side with windows installer. If you have a 32-bit OS then either the "Any CPU" or "x86" build will offer the same experience.
There was a rather large, pun intended, memory issue with v0.9.0.548. This largely pertained to how I was handling the log file coming from the v7 client (growing pains with v7). I'm happy to report that the memory consumption is much, much improved in this version. I certainly hope this gets all you guys experienced any memory related issue back in action, especially those who contacted me and help me. The move to .NET 4.0 was largely prompted by this issue as that move in and of itself made a positive impact on the situation.
Otherwise... not a lot has changed. This is a well overdue bug fix release for v0.9.0. I hope to bring some goodies with the next release. Primarily an overhaul of the WU History Database. This should include some extra data added as well as much enhanced querying (wildcards, ANDs, ORs, etc).
