Hi where can I find the change log up to 5.8.4, as the release history only goes to 5.7.4?

Thanks

On CVS, /boinc/checkin_notes (and /boinc/checkin_notes_2006 for last year's changelog).

Hi Nicolas

Thanks for that, although how can you tell what changes relate to what version ie: what changes have been made from 5.8.3 to 5.8.4?

Cheers

Change Log:



- MGR: Add the help button to the list of images to update when the

user selects a different skin.

- Mac: Fix build script for Curl 7.15.5 (should have been done

3 months ago.)

- manager: show correct app name when connected to 5.4.11 client

- core client: reset 5-minute timer for network activity

is user explicitly changes network mode

- don't start benchmarks if they're already running

- core client: if starting a file xfer, and file

is already as large or larger than it should be,

start transfer from the beginning.

This fixes some pathological cases found by Rattledagger.

- core client: don't garbage-collect a RESULT if an ACTIVE_TASK for it

still exists. In principle this shouldn't happen, but maybe it is.

- limit duration correction factor to the range 0.01 .. 100

- mem_usage.C Bug fix: procfs access cannot use 64 bit files under solaris

- Added solaris application working set calculation

- Fixed problem on solaris when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS was set before testing

for procfs.h

- Removed assumption of 4k pages in procinfo_unix.C

- MGR: Make sure the result records have been updated before

displaying the taskbar balloon.

- lib: change retry logic for file system ops

so that it does does at least 5 retries

AND takes at least 5 seconds.

- core client: if resuming a persistent file xfer,

don't print error messages if file has wrong

size/checksum/signature.

That's a normal condition is a file xfer was interrupted.

- MGR: If the manager detects that the CC has crashed, and it was the one

who started the CC to begin with, restart the CC after 30 seconds.

- MGR: Cleanup some of the taskbar interactions where both the tooltip and

balloon were being displayed on Windows. Only one should be shown.

- MGR: Allow arguments to be passed to the CC from the manager's parameter

list. /b "..." or /boincargs "..." should work.

- DIAG: Fix an uninitialized string issue that cropped up after removing the

forground window information from the diagnostic output.

- MGR: take Close() function call out of #if/#endif block so the manager

exits when the 'exit' menu item is selected.

If you look on the 2006 notes, there are changes like this:

Rom 4 Jan 2006 (HEAD)
- Tag for 5.3.7 release, all platforms
boinc_core_release_5_3_7

Means at that point the 5.3.7 release was done (so all changes preceding are in the release, and all changes following are for the next release). It seems they are forgetting to note versions numbers now...
