The 8.2.4 version of the BOINC client has been released for all platforms. Download it here. Release notes are here. The new version supports Docker apps - an important step for BOINC.

Yes, I see that for Apple Mac Platform as of July 15, 2025. Can someone please explain why it is still 8.0.2 for the Mac where as the others are 8.2.4 now? On the BOINC is still prompting me to upgrade but I can't as it still shows 8.0.2 on https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php for the Apple Mac.

I might be great, but I can't get it so install and any of my Windows systems, three of them, that previously ran perfectly with every version ever.
