        it could be that the executable has been munged.
        So verify the files; this will find the bad file
        and download it again.
    - Manager: in Attach to Account Manager wizard, add some text saying
        if they want to just attach to a single project,
        use the Attach to Project wizard instead.
        Some users tried to attach SETI@home using the acct mgr wizard
        and got all bent outta shape when it didn't work.

        load and execute it on Windows 2000 or better.
    - Win SETUP: Remove some dead code from the custom action list.
    - Win SETUP: On Windows XP systems or better, we no longer require the
       service account to have a password, Microsoft has taken care of the
       problem by not allowing incomming network connections for accounts with
       no passwords.

        being introduced into properties where no value was defined.
    - Win SETUP: Don't attemp to restore any properties until we have actually
        stored some from a previous iteration of setup, otherwise our defaults
        don't kick in.
    - Win SETUP: Saving and Restoring properties is now only enabled for those
        using the UI deployment method, we don't want to throw anything

        some other deployment mechinism.

        to a project with wrong URL (e.g. setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu).
        The fix allows the project to attach but prints a warning.
        It would be better to not allow the attach;
        I'll get back to this later

        its own form of type casts for C++ objects which probably uses
        the basic RTTI of the compiler at some level, but it also has a few
        checks and balences as well. So if you get a hankering of using
        dynamic_cast or static_cast use wxDynamicCast and wxStaticCast
        instead.

        by a science project to return the max used by a process
        instead of totaling the process/child processes. Fixes the
        problem where the same RAM and SWAP used gets counted multiple

    - Add script to clean up web cache.
        Sometimes the cache gets so full that it takes 30 secs
        just to compute free and used disk space,
        so that normal cleanup times out before it does anything.

      variable types for use within a string is in the gui_rpc_* files.
      
      Every where else needs to use wxString, otherwise the manager

    - Server: change the usage of host.credit_per_cpu_sec
        so that it is the recent average of granted credit per CPU sec,
        as computed by Bruce's update_credit_per_cpu_sec() function
        (finally, a use for hyperbolic trig functions in BOINC).
        Prior to this it was the most recent value of
        claimed credit per CPU sec, which is not as useful.
        Add a new non-DB member to HOST, claimed_credit_per_cpu_sec,
        for this purpose.
    - db_dump.C: export host.credit_per_cpu_sec
    - move update_credit_per_cpu_sec() from lib/util.C to sched/validate_util.C

    Once a few projects pick up this change, it will be useful
    for comparing credit-granting policies between projects
    (for hosts that participate in multiple projects,
    the credit per CPU second should be about the same).

David  15 Jan 2007
    - core client: fix a bug that could cause computation to stop.
        The problem: if we suspended a task by sending it a <quit/> message,
        we were changing its scheduler state to CPU_SCHED_PREEMPTED
        but not changing its task state (PROCESS_EXECUTING).
        If, for some reason, the process didn't exit right away,
        the scheduler would treat it as still running,
        since it builds its "currently running" list based on task_state.
        Solution: the scheduler shouldn't be looking at task_state.
        Use scheduler_state instead.
        It's still a mystery why the app wasn't quitting.

        for a project if it had > 2 active uploads
        (intended to prevent an unbounded buildup of files
        for a project whose upload server is broken).
        This was never triggered since the default is 2 active
        transfers per project.
        Maybe I meant persistent file transfers.
        In any case, this is a bad policy because there may be
        a project with lots of output files per result, possibly large,
        and there's no reason to keep it from computing.
        So instead, I changed it to not start a result from a project
        if its number of results in FILES_UPLOADING state exceeds 2*ncpus.

            Conditions that may indicate a problem or bug in BOINC itself,

        MSG_INFO
