This is being worked on by the developers. Trying to go to form I get the following No account with email address [email protected] exists. Please go back and try again. With no option for creating an account. Browser tries to use same email and password as I use for the forums. For what it is worth having built my own from source on my Ubuntu22.04 box I don't get the error on changing to simple view. wxwidgets version is 3.0.5 ID: 108454 · Reply Quote

I guess: when it's done, the majority of bugs have been ridden out of it. Why? What's the hurry? ID: 108971 · Reply Quote

The only changes from the previous 7.20.2 release should be to fix the "Show Graphics" functionality in BOINC Manager and to the screensaver under MacOS 13 Ventura. Please download and try https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.20.4_macOSX_universal.zip and let us know if you find any problems. If you have access to run older versions of MacOS, please test that "Show Graphics" and the screensaver still work properly there. Note: I have noticed that some World Community Grid graphics apps appear to be buggy. They sometime work and sometimes don't, both with this new version 7.20.4 and the previous version 7.20.2, so that problem is not due to these changes in BOINC. Thank you, Charlie Edit: Please note that there is a known problem under MacOS 11 and later: the close button no longer works on some graphics apps, though it continues to work on others. It is unclear why. Since the graphics apps are provided by the projects, we have no way to fix this at our end. Our solution (really a workaround) was to modify the BOINC Manager so the "Show Graphics" button changes to "Stop Graphics" when the graphics app is displayed. ID: 110432 · Reply Quote
