Is there a sign-up list where I can be notified when Boinc will work with Mac 10.6?

Hi,

No, but 6.6.36 seems to work with SL (see post by Brinktastee). In major it's the screensaver part that being broken, else BOINC should work.

Those who have the WCG original installer kit for windows will get a notification via the message log from WCG. The relevant code you can add to the cc_config.xml file in the options section:

<client_version_check_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.ph...ent_version_check_url>
<client_download_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/download.php</client_download_url>

Uhm, for one thing, this method won't work if you can't get BOINC to run at all...

For another, if WCG doesn't speed-up the release considerably, would expect it takes atleast 3 months from the release of v6.10.xx before users that's made those changes will get any message at all...

You're so sharp. Do get another coffee to make it scalpel edged ;>).

If cliffrl gets 6.6.36 he could get notified of a WCG endorsed release in the future. Spares him, somewhat exaggerated, the bi-weekly "there's a new release".
