Don't exactly know, but atleast for the 1st. my guess is it's removed since it's redundant, the "normal" view now also works for anyone needing to use magnifyer or any other accessible-options, so keeping & supporting an extra view just for a few users that doesn't like the "normal" view doesn't make much sence.

For the 2nd... just a guess here, but they possibly didn't like lines along the lines of: "Communication to project is deferred for XXX seconds, to CPU for YYY minutes, for Nvidia for ZZZ minutes, for Ati for NNN minutes".
Even the 1st. has been confusing for many users, since they think there's a problem, and they also is confused when client doesn't connect then reached zero.

The info for when next can connect shows-up if you select a project and hits "Properties".

I'm looking forward to testing the first 6.12.xx Alpha/Beta whatever it will be labeled with and all the "user-friendlier communication" that is in the pipeline.

As for the counter running to zero and not connecting, well allot happens in the scheduler on a continues basis, so the need may have expired to connect... now I picture someone sitting front of the screen and the counter getting aborted when the connection requirement has become redundant. Certainly hitting Update kills them, or sets off a new one ;>)
