Maintained Release

Folding@Home In The Dark Web Client

The web client has been consolidated into one maintained build. Returning users should now use latest, which carries the current UI, active fixes, and the legacy compatibility shims that were previously spread across older build folders.

Recent Release Summary

  • Legacy 8_1, 8_3_5, 8_4, 8_5, and 8_5_1 paths now redirect into latest, so there is only one public web client build to maintain.
  • The latest build now includes compatibility handling for older socket payloads, legacy group-config shapes, and mixed slot progress field formats.
  • Command dispatch now preserves support for older `8.1.x` clients while keeping the newer control payloads for later `8.x` builds.
  • The active docs were updated so maintenance guidance and compatibility behavior now live in one place.

What Changed

Older build-specific launch choices have been removed from this page. The version split is no longer needed because the maintained latest client now absorbs the minor compatibility differences that previously required separate folders.

  • One primary entry point for all supported `8.x` client variants.
  • Cleaner maintenance path for future web client fixes and UI changes.
  • Less confusion for returning users who previously had to pick a matching build manually.

For Returning Users

If you used one of the older versioned URLs before, you can now go directly to the maintained client. Existing legacy links will redirect automatically, but the preferred destination is:

Key Features In latest

Time-Shifting Schedule

Configure hour-by-hour folding windows, store them locally in the browser, and let the client shift between fold and pause states on your chosen schedule while the page remains open.

Folding League Stats

Pull your live Folding League user and team data into the client so you can see lifetime totals, current production, monthly standings, and related league rank context from the same interface.

Performance Charts

Toggle slot charts on demand to compare current estimated PPD against project averages, track slot progress, and quickly see how each active work unit is trending.

Over / Under Performance Signals

The client compares your current GPU or CPU output against workload-specific averages, including differences by project cause and work unit type, so you can spot when a machine is outperforming or lagging behind expected results.

Work Unit Context

Review project ids, PRCG values, atom counts, estimated rewards, and research cause labels so each slot has more context than the default client typically exposes.

Hardware-Aware Slot Views

The active client separates CPU and GPU presentation, adds hardware lookup details, and highlights whether each slot is being measured against the right device-specific baseline.
