FET-7.8.5 was released on 11 April 2026, and proved to be a stable version, available here for an unusual long period (today is 21 May 2026, so it lasted at least for 1 month and 10 days!).
Here are the current download statistics for FET-7.8.5 from the main server, lalescu.ro:
Number of different ip-s to download fet-7.8.5.tar.xz with code 200: 1315
Number of different ip-s to download fet-7.8.5.exe with code 200: 3149
Number of different ip-s to download fet-7.8.5-qt5.exe with code 200: 542
Number of different ip-s to download fet-7.8.5-qt5-32bit.exe with code 200: 410
Number of different ip-s to download fet-7.8.5-bin.tar.xz with code 200: 240
Number of different ip-s to download ANY fet-7.8.5 with code 200: 4282
Probably the most important statistic is the last line, "ANY", because some users download more versions.
There is also Volker's mirror site, timetabling.de, and I invite
@Volker Dirr to write his statistics.
There is also Darren's compiled version for macOS, and I invite
@Darren McDonald to write his statistics.
We also have other mirror sites, like SourceForge.net (currently 68 source downloads, 539 Windows exe downloads of FET-7.8.5).
So grateful to be part of the FET team! Thanking the dedicated translators (we have 6 complete and manually updated almost each time translations: Arabic (Benahmed,
@Benahmed Abdelkrim ), Greek (Vangelis,
@Vangelis Karafillidis ), French (Pascal,
@cabsen ), Italian (Andrea,
@flauta ), Brazilian Portuguese (Alexandre,
@khemis ), and Romanian (by me)) and contributors! FET is a joint work success!
We currently have 501 total contributors listed in the THANKS section, and each one of them contributed something useful: a suggestion, a bug report, or a portion of code. Some contributed a lot of suggestions and feedback. I am thankful to each of them!

This version (FET-7.8.5) stayed here for about 53 days. It is a very long duration, I think second longest in the history of FET (FET-5.37.5 stayed here for a bit over 5 months). But now it's time to move on to the new version, just released, FET-7.8.6.
