Hi !
New versions of the BOINC client have been released for most major platforms
on 06 June 2005. Details of the Windows platform are below:
THIS IS A RECOMMENDED UPGRADE. New version is v 4.45 for Windows. Get it
from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php
=============New features============
When a slow computer is attached to a large number of projects, BOINC does
work only for a few of them at a time, to avoid missed deadlines.
Fixes a bug in which Intellisense/Intellipoint closes applications while in
screensaver mode.
Fixes bugs with managed deployments with Active Directory.
A new 'Select Computer' dialog remembers which computers you have connected
to.
A new statistics tab has been added to the BOINC manager (thanks to Jens
Breitbart for the great feature).
Support for UMTS networks.
Support for account management websites.
Password protection for GUI access.
BOINC Manager now uses buttons instead of web-type links.
===========Known problems===========
Applications that were built before October 2004 do not display screensaver
graphics with the Service or Shared install type, or the Single-user install
type with the password protect screensaver option on NT based machines.
If BOINC runs at the same time as Windows XP 3-D screensavers, the system
becomes sluggish and unresponsive.
Dial-up users should choose the single-user installation.
Graphics sometimes do not work with ATI Graphics card. This bug has been
fixed, but it requires new applications to be built. Please check with the
various projects to find out when they'll release a new applicaton with the
fix.
