Only when WCG gets a mention! Note the OpenSSL update and cookielessness installing.[My cookiekiller certainly does not let installers tap into those].
Howdy Folks, A new version [7.6.29] of BOINC is available to test out on Windows. The big changes in this release are: * Updated translations * Updated libCurl to 7.47.1 * Updated OpenSSL to 1.0.2g * Updated SQLite to 3.10.2 We did add one new feature which we have named the cookieless install feature. We do not have a project setup to test this new feature yet. At some point, we should have a test project setup to test this new feature. We developed cookieless installs in collaboration with World Community Grid. |

In quick succession, one for OSX too, 7.6.31
We have a new version 7.6.31 of BOINC available to test on the Mac. Changes since 7.6.18: All the changes Rom listed for Windows build 7.6.29 are included, except that the Mac version 7.6.31 has updated SQLite to 3.11.0 and FreeType to 2.6.2. In addition, both the Mac and Windows builds have: * a number of improvements to stability, security and efficiency. * fixes and other improvements to the information displayed in the Manager. * improved identification of some GPU model names and capabilities. * various bug fixes. Cheers, --Charlie |

Not fully digested the latest check-in entries [not in any Alpha or Beta build yet], but it seems the base per-CPU-thread memory can soon be specified [via CC_config.xml I guess], to control dynamically manage how many cores are being crunched on concurrently (In a way you already could in that setting the total allowed memory in idle or use, would/could cause for running tasks to be paused.)
Here's the check-in link for your spare time reading: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/commit/995fdc38d5e0bdf35de1104885c1fa3e47b5b16c The controls that can be added at some future time are: Add optional <mem_usage_base> and <mem_usage_per_cpu> elements for MT plan classes. Power to the [select] tweakers ;D |
