Minor notes, I suspect at least two (the first two) of the changes I was expecting just did not make it to this build
- Interlaced backlight on Vista selected tasks - The suspension of uploads during benchmarks (See log). - During the attach to a project I got a failure in the last communication screen (after supplying my credentials) and the only choice was to exit. The back button was not available to try again or to check prior screens for accuracy. - Durning attach the "NNT" flag is not respected. I attached to SaH to get the updated preference for CPU suspend and as soon as the system made the initial steps and SaH was listed I set it to NNT, yet, I still got one task downloaded. 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM Host location: none 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM General prefs: using your defaults 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM Preferences: 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM max memory usage when active: 2758.93MB 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM max memory usage when idle: 3004.16MB 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM max disk usage: 500.00GB 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM (to change, visit the web site of an attached project, 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM or click on Preferences) 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM Using proxy info from GUI 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM Not using a proxy 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM Running CPU benchmarks 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM Suspending computation - running CPU benchmarks 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM ed...@home Started upload of wu_3_8e10c234-2b07-4877-8bc8-222aed5c1cbe_0_0 3/6/2010 8:29:29 AM ed...@home Started upload of wu_3_8e10c234-2b07-4877-8bc8-222aed5c1cbe_0_1 3/6/2010 8:29:51 AM ed...@home Temporarily failed upload of wu_3_8e10c234-2b07-4877-8bc8-222aed5c1cbe_0_0: connect() failed 3/6/2010 8:29:51 AM ed...@home Backing off 1 hr 11 min 43 sec on upload of wu_3_8e10c234-2b07-4877-8bc8-222aed5c1cbe_0_0 3/6/2010 8:29:51 AM ed...@home Temporarily failed upload of wu_3_8e10c234-2b07-4877-8bc8-222aed5c1cbe_0_1: connect() failed 3/6/2010 8:29:51 AM ed...@home Backing off 31 min 45 sec on upload of wu_3_8e10c234-2b07-4877-8bc8-222aed5c1cbe_0_1 3/6/2010 8:29:51 AM ed...@home Started upload of wu_3_8e10c234-2b07-4877-8bc8-222aed5c1cbe_0_2 3/6/2010 8:29:57 AM Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site 3/6/2010 8:29:58 AM Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. 3/6/2010 8:30:01 AM Benchmark results: 3/6/2010 8:30:01 AM Number of CPUs: 4 3/6/2010 8:30:01 AM 2633 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 3/6/2010 8:30:01 AM 5405 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU On Mar 5, 2010, at 11:41 AM, Rom Walton wrote: > The BOINC Project with the generous help of the alpha testers is pleased > to announce that 6.10.36 is now the recommended version of the BOINC > client software. > > > > Some of the changes for this release are: > > * New: Updated localization files > > * New: Added accessibility support for advanced view (Mac) > > * New: Added support for parsing username and password information > from environment variables > > * New: Added ability to ignore specific GPU cards through the use of > ignore device through the use of a configuration file option > > * New: Added ability to suspend BOINC's use of GPUs when certain > applications are run through the use of a configuration file option > > * New: Allow new screen saver options to be configured via the OS > specific configuration screen > > * New: Snooze GPU option off of the system tray menu > > * New: Adjust GPU activity settings via the advanced view activity > menu > > * New: Added ability for a project to be specified as a "Backup > Project" by setting its resource share to 0 > > * New: Suspend computation of BOINC applications if CPU usage from > non-BOINC applications exceeds a volunteer defined value (Defaults to > 25%) > > * New: Support detecting SSE2, SSE3, and other forms of advanced > instruction sets for older Windows machines (Windows) > > * Fix: Numerous CPU/GPU scheduling fixes > > * Fix: Numerous work-fetch fixes > > * Fix: Mac Installer for non-admin installs > > * Fix: Recover from crashes in Nvidia and ATI GPU functions (Linux, > Mac) > > * Fix: Reap child processes spawned from a wrapper on POSIX systems > (Linix, Mac) > > * Fix: If a project supports ATI or Nvidia projects, display their > icons in the project list > > * Fix: Show most commonly used preferences in use during startup via > messages. > > Special thanks to the alpha testers and all the volunteers who help > ferret out the bugs and provide continuous feedback making BOINC better > with each release. > > > > ----- Rom > > BOINC Project Developer/Release Manager > > > > _______________________________________________ > boinc_alpha mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_alpha > To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and > (near bottom of page) enter your email address. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
