* client: if a GPU exclusion refers to non-existent device num, ignore it
* client: change cpu_sched_debug log messages to show job's GPU type
* client: if app reports fract done > 1, use asymptotic formula
* client: On Macs, fix failure to recognize CUDA devices when BOINC is launched automatically at login before CUDA has initialized at system boot.
* client: if app reports fraction done outside 0..1, truncate

Hi there,

It looks like the 7.6.9 version has been publicly released (I got a notice for it in my client) but the link to the release notes only shows up to 7.6.7 (yours and the one on the download page). Thanks for posting the notes, but I guess not everyone will find them here...

Fixed.
