To the bold adventurers who like to test out newer boinc versions... http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php?dev=1



New features:
Dial-up support has now been enhanced to support service installs, and shared user installs.
Account Management has been enhanced and support has been enabled in the stock install of BOINC.
Alerts have been enabled to provide instant feedback when certain types of errors occur.
BOINC Manager now supports the Microsoft Active Accessibility standard.
BOINC is now capable of using HTTPS and has better proxy support through the use of curl.
BOINC can now use username and passwords for authentication instead of an authenticator.
BOINC now employs a wizard during an attach to project operation to guide people thruogh the process of attaching to a project as well as check for things like proxy configuration issues.

Known problems:
Applications that were built before October 2004 do not display screensaver graphics with the Service or Shared install type, or the Single-user install type with the password protect screensaver option on NT based machines.
If BOINC runs at the same time as Windows XP 3-D screensavers, the system becomes sluggish and unresponsive.



p.s. - And a questions to our admins.... why is the "Boinc - General" subforum within the "Phys Science" section? :lol:

Tried it for a few hours. Only thing is that project schedulers will say it requires a V4 of BOINC to participate.\

EDIT: Looks like the only project that seems to work w/ this version is Einstein@Home. So far so good with it. I'm hoping other projects will update so it supports V5.
