Note: Latest MAC-OS will need the newest client build AND for WCG to rebuild the science app graphics before this platform will be able to show the graphics/Screensaver again!
----------------------------------------Version 7.8.3 is now available for testing. This should allow BOINC to run with the failed CPDN tasks in situ, and also allow the Mac screensaver to show project graphics again once projects have updated their apps. If anyone still has a copy of BOINC which won't start, please test and report back. UPDATE Message 81835 - Posted: 6 Oct 2017, 12:06:29 UTC - in response to Message 81833. Charlie Fenton wrote a long email to the boinc_projects mailing list yesterday, explaining why changes are needed, how they're supposed to work, and what needs to be done. In particular, he covered your point: he has designed the new graphics API calls to be fully backwards compatible. A single graphics app built with the new tools will work with both old-style and new-style Mac screensaver controllers. But as always, the proof will be in the testing... The email is archived at Update your project graphics for Mac OS 10.13, but that link is only accessible to current list subscribers.
