Recommend a V7.6.8 Public Release Windows/Linux/MacOS X Section be added.

Good think that the Forum wasn't created as there's a new version 7.6.9 :P

That was fast. Is there a problem with 7.6.8?

V7.6.9 is for PC - V7.6.8 is for Macs. So we need a V7.6.8/.9 Section.

This is what I am seeing when I visit this site: https://foldingathome.org/alternative-downloads/
fah-installer_7.6.9_x86_64.mpkg.zip

Is it possible that you had a cached version of the site?

I went to the F@H software download web page on my Macs and the 4/15/20 file was fah-installer_7.6.8_x86_64.mpkg.zip. Today this has been updated to V7.6.9.
I then went to the F@H software download web page on my PCs and the 4/15/20 file was fah-installer_7.6.9_x86.

AFAIK, 7.6.8 isn't defective. I don't know what changes have happened between 7.6.8 and 7.6.9 as the change log is identical for both versions.

I have confirmation that the latest stable version is 7.6.9

I did the PC download from a Sony VAIO laptop running Win V8.1 Pro.
