• the default value for the "suspend_if_no_recent_input" pref is 0, not 60
  
• if sched request fails, show the scheduler URL (that might be the problem)
  
• Show alert if idle time to resume computing is greater than idle time to suspend computing
  
• ignore old prefs sent by projects or AM
  
• avoid overscheduling CPUs in presence of MT jobs
  
• Manager: computing prefs dialog bug
  
• Manager: Add button in event log to display only alerts (errors)
  
• Manager: Improve consistency of control labels and accelerators
  
• Manager: Show native names for language options, and only those for which translations are available

Thanks for your help testing BOINC, and thanks to Vitalii Koshura and Charlie Fenton for their hard work in making this release.

Upgrading from 7.20.2 to 7.24.1, I noticed that dont_check_file_sizes set to 1 is not working anymore.
Downgrading to 7.20.2 and it's working again.
