A manual can be found. here

Changed: Latest GPU Libraries.
Fixed: Registered 0 (unused) Hot-key.
Fixed: Sometimes the driver wasn't ready yet and didn't connect, resulting in no temperature readings. Retry 2 times after 10 and 20 seconds.
Add: Rule: Hibernate. <- new translation
Add: Crash dump. Installs dbghelp.dll in the TThrottle folder.

Sometimes only one GPU is detected when there are two installed.
Or 2 are detected when only 1 is installed, sometimes even an NVIDIA GPU is detected.

First try rebooting your system.
If this fails, you can try removing all drivers and install them again.

This may sometimes solve the problem:
In this folder: C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle\examples you find: tthrottle.xml

Copy tthrottle.xml, it to a temporary folder.

Change:

<!--
<GPU_SETUP>
  <ati_number_gpu>1</ati_number_gpu>
<GPU_SETUP>
-->

Into

<GPU_SETUP>
  <ati_number_gpu>2</ati_number_gpu>
<GPU_SETUP>

The digit is the number of GPU's you have actually installed.

Save the edited tthrottle.xml and copy it  to C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle

Exit TThrottle and restart TThrottle.

Add: Supports tasks running in a Virtual Box.
Add: Log flag to log email arguments.

Fixed: The mini window sometimes shows an extra GPU temperature with huge negative numbers.

Add: Partial Swedish translation.
Fixed: Callibration problem with AMD, use 1 temperature sensor as default.

Linux: http://efmer.com/b/?q=Ubuntu_multiple_BOINC_clients

Fixed: If there is only one temperature sensor, the calibration takes a long time and sometimes detects 2 sensors.
Fixed: Installation: Failed to place the desktop icon.

Fixed: The mini temperature window, shows too many/wrong temperatures.

Fixed: A handle leak, when a child process was detected.
Fixed: Temperature graph, move the color markings a couple of pixels to the left.

You need BoincTasks 1.25 or up.
Add: Debug flag to exclude, to debug the exclude process:   <debug>1</debug>.
Changed: Show XXX: 0 instead of CPU: 0, to show the task is excluded.
Changed: Max number of cores 8 -> 12.
Changed: Max number of Gpu's 6-> 8.
Changed: Graphic: Max Cpu and Gpu lines, now show the actual max temperatures used
Changed: Salable graph redesigned.
Changed: No longer shows a warning if another copy of TThrottle is running
Fixed: Driver debug started on Control+Shift, should toggle on the keyword DRIVER.
Fixed: File logging, should toggle on the keyword LOGGING.
Fixed: After a calibration the temperature window shows the wrong number of cores.
Fixed: BOINC connection mode: Even with a list of 0 programs, the regulator keeps on regulating on the old list.

Add: A CPU and GPU temperature that is set if the computer isn't used for xx seconds. (Preference)

Add: Exclude low usage projects. (tthrottle.xml) <exclude><percentage>2.5<percentage></exclude> default set to 0.5.
Add: Show CPU percentage in logging: CPU: 1 (95%).

Add: In the expert tab a re-calibration button.
Changed: Core calibration, it not logs the calibration in the file log.

Add: Remote access from BoincTasks.
Add: BoincTasks password. For all data transfer between TThrottle and BoincTasks.

I admit I'm a bit late with updates, nevertheless... I believe the problem is up to date:

BT connected to two machines displays a joint Notices tab. A bunch of complaints appeared there saying that a few projects (actually all of them - there were no tasks on one machine) have had not enough disk space to allow downloading. However there was no hint about which machine's client is complaining

Any idea how to find out (except maybe checking each machine in the computer selection siderbar)? (Especially if someone's BT is connected to a lot of clients)?

I could add the computer name, if it's a Notice from BOINC.

Check out the video.

As of V 1.13.

Computers are shown as groups.
When no groups are set in the Computers tab, the default "All computers" group is shown.

Groups can be collapsed and expanded, by clicking on the group icon.

Computes can be part of more than one group: All;Home
Computer belongs to group All and to group Home.

Normally all groups are expanded, you can override this by the > character e.g. >Home, shows the Home group as collapsed.
By default the first group is selected, by using the < character e.g. < Home, shows the Home group as selected.

To adjust the width of the computer sidebar:

V 1.24 and up:

Move the mouse over the divider and once the two arrows appear, click once on the divider, next release the left mouse button. At that point the view will make room for a wider computer sidebar.
Now click again and drag the divider to the right position.

Before:

The height of the bar is automatically stretched to the height of the window.
Just move the sidebar out of the locked position. (Pick it up and drag)
Now you have a floating window and you can adjust it's size.
Next move the window back in place.

Tasks view:

You can speed up the tasks view by setting Extra->BoincTasks settings->Tasks Set the "Maximum update time" to 240 seconds.
What happens is that at every Update, only the running tasks are read and updated on the screen. This will speed things up considerably.
The "Maximum update time" sets the maximum time between a full load of all Tasks.
The actual time between a full load, depends on the number of Tasks/Computer, more tasks means a longer interval time. (Time = Tasks / 30).
And a full load will be done when something changes in the running tasks, or when you perform a task operation, like suspend.

History:

The history is always running, to optimize to to  Extra->BoincTasks settings->History.
Set "Smart mode", this will set the update time to variable.
Set the "Minimum update time" to 4 seconds.
Set the "Maximum update time" as high as possible, 120 Seconds is a good starting point.
The actual update time depends on the remaining time, of the task with the lowest remaining time. The update time is generally the remaining time / 2, with a maximum of the set value.

Set "Move to long term history after" 0 hours. To keep the short term history to a minimum.

When everything is running as it should, you could disable the history entirely.


Others:

At Extra->BoincTasks settings->View, set the "Refresh rate" to normal or slow, or use a manual time.
Try to limit the number of tasks rules to a minimum.

Changed: Different email program, now using sendemail.exe to send emails.
