Commit a3b75f4 is the only difference between the two possible source tarballs. 
That commit updates the Windows Installshield files, and is correctly atomic: 
there are no changes to the delivered BOINC code, only to the delivery 
mechanism. Outside the Windows Installer environment, there should be no 
differences in the code. I hope that helps you to start testing while it's 
still night-time in David's timezone.

 Hi David,

In order test, please could you confirm exactly what we should be 
testing? From my understanding the 'Tag' is client_release/7.8/7.8.3/ 
and this results in the following URL for the source tarball.

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/archive/client_release/7.8/7.8.3/boinc-7.8.3.tar.gz

This tag represents commit efcd392 but I see that the latest commit on 
the 'branch' client_release/7.8/7.8.3/ is a3b75f4 and would result in 
the following URL for the source tarball.

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/archive/a3b75f4184e8f86516d5f892accab0a32de6b913/boinc-a3b75f4.tar.gz

Which should I test?

Regards,

Laurence
