5.10.42, Windows, Windows x64

Howdy Folks,

Here is a new build which includes the new libcurl that uses the newer async dns mechanism.

If all goes well this will be our new stable release, hopefully the last.

------ Rom

Change Log:

- MGR: If user shuts down connected client, don't auto-relaunch it.

- Update libcurl to include the c-ares library on Windows

5.10.42, Macintosh

I have posted BOINC 5.10.42 for the Macintosh to the alpha download page.

There was a small typo in the change log posted earlier. It should read:

- MGR: If user shuts down connected client, don't auto-relaunch it.
- Update libcurl to include the c-ares library on Windows

Cheers,

5.10.42, for Linux and Linux x64

Here is the latest 5.10 client released for Linux. This brings it in line with the Windows and Mac clients.

Please log bugs to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac and log test results to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha

Rom.

First report in shows that Ubuntu (graphics) version works on FC7/8

5.10.43, Windows and Windows x64

Howdy Folks,

We have a new build to test, we believe that we have fixed the crashing bug. This release also includes updates to the localization files.

Please log test results to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha and log bug reports to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac

TIA.

Change Log:

- Mac client: Fix bug which set powerpc_emulated_on_i386 true for X86_64 native applications. This sometimes prevented V6 applications from showing graphics. If user downgrades from V6 client, the V5 client continues to use existing X86_64 applications which were previously downloaded by the V6 client (which is another bug). Since they weren't i386/i686 native, the V5 client treated them as emulated PowerPC apps (which might crash if graphics were attempted).

- client: fix crashing bug in SCHEDULER_OP::backoff(). Was using cur_proj (which is potentially NULL) instead of p

- MGR: Fix the crash on linux when BOINC Manager is shut down. (Patch from Michael Roberts)

- MGR: When connecting to a different host, delete all old messages in message pane (from previously connected client) before getting new messages.

- MGR: Update localization files from trunk.

5.10.43 released for Linux and Linux x64

See Windows 5.10.43 description for changes.

5.10.43 for Macintosh

See change log of Windows 5.10.43 for details.

5.10.44, Windows and Windows x64

Howdy Folks,

This build should resolve the hanging clients of x64 based systems. We have reverted back to using the synchronized DNS queries and so we shouldn’t have any crashes either.

Please log test results to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha and bugs to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/

TIA

Change Log:

- MGR: When connected connecting to a different host, clear all cached messages and resume auto-scrolling messages.

- Change libcurl to use sync DNS on Windows.

5.10.44, Macintosh

I have posted BOINC 5.10.44 for the Macintosh to the alpha download
page. The Macintosh version still uses asynchronous DNS lookups,
since there have been no reported problems related to that on the Mac.

BOINC 5.10.44 released for Linux and Linux x64

Same version as Windows and Macintosh.

5.10.45, Windows and Windows x64
5.10.45, Linux and Linux x64
5.10.45, Macintosh

Howdy Folks,

Here is another build with an updated boinc_cmd and a more consistent implementation of single/multiple selection in the grid view. We’ll have a better deal going for the 6.x release as far as selections go.

Please report bugs to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac and test results to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha

TIA

----- Rom

Change Log:

- MGR: Disallow multiple selections in grid views.

- CMD: Update boinc_cmd using what is checked into head.

(P.S: multiple selections is re-enabled on the Tasks tab in the next versions of BOINC. It's disabled in this one.)

BOINC 5.10.45 is now the new stable release for all platforms.

This release is a bug fix release which includes fixes for better proxy
support through the use of the <force_auth> configuration option in
cc_config.xml which is defined here:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ClientMessages

This release also contains fixes for startup/shutdown issues when
running on Windows Vista.

Enjoy.
