fahmon 2.1.5b.2 released

This new release fixes a longstanding bug present in the official version of fahmon (2.1.5). fahmon can now save its preferences when it is left in the system tray on logoff or shutdown in Windows or Linux.

Previously if you forgot to close fahmon before you shutdown of logged off, fahmon would just die silently and the preferences or benchmarks accumulated since it was started would be lost. Well no more, after looking around the wxwidgets docs and poking around their forums, I found out what was going wrong, and it's a really stupid problem with wxwidgets itself. It appears you need a special routine to handle logoff/shutdown events, otherwise they are never trapped. Once I knew this it was relatively simple to redirect these events to the current exit procedure and now everything saves and exits gracefully.

A bug that causes some client paths to be set to lines from FAHlog.txt should also be fixed in this release.
