On the thinkfan website he writes:
"0.8 is out, but I named it alpha since there are no unit tests and I really can't test every possible scenario. We do need some more testing since there have been significant changes to functionality."
So it doesn't seem like he considers this version especially more or less stable (or more or less "alpha") than the previous version. He's just tring to be honest that this is something so few people use, he can't really say that it's been effectively tested. And that was six months ago that .8 came out. This is something that is so infrequently updated, I wouldn't hold my breath for the "stable" version. Anyway, that's my point of view. Maybe a separate alpha package is needed, if you're not comfortable upgrading this one?

0.8 is marked as 'alpha2'. It seems, that 0.8 is not considered a stable release.

there's a new version at http://sourceforge.net/projects/thinkfan/, maybe this should be made the program's homepage?

Could you please install both config files? I build my packages on a Samung Notebook and use thinkfan on a Lenovo one...
