A known program was extended according to the development topic “boinc_cmd: add --get_task_summary command.” during March 2023. The presented table can contain the column “% Done”. How do you think about to omit the display of the percent character besides the values? |

boinccmd --get_task_summary c % Done --- 59.74% 28.47% 28.13% 59.65% --- 47.51%On my University course, 50 years ago, I was firmly taught: "A number is meaningless unless the units are stated" But we do need to add that to the User Manual - thanks for reminding me. |

But we do need to add that to the User Manual - …. How do you think about to express any influence of number format settings on the percent value presentation? |

Done. I suggest to put the information “Options:” behind the version hint “New in 7.24” in this documentation approach. |
