    a couple of locality scheduling fixes:
    - remove obsolete and buggy code from transitioner (create_result() in backend_lib)
    - account for 'mixed' scheduling in explain_to_user() in sched_send.cpp
    - finish transition to configurable patterns for distinguishing files reported by the client
      in the Einstein@home-specific part of send_work_locality in sched_locality
      (removed previous hardcoded strcmps)

    - client: fix format strings for ninstances (can be fraction now)

    client/

David  5 Jan 2010
    - client: scheduling problem:
        - a project overestimates job FLOP counts
        - the client starts jobs in EDF mode
        - as job progresses and fraction done increases,
            its completion time estimate decreases until
            it's no longer a deadline miss.
        - job gets preempted by other job from that project;
            you end up with lots of partly completed jobs.
        Solution (I hope): if an app version has running jobs,
            compute a "temp DCF" for the app version,
            which is the min of dynamic/static estimates for its jobs.
            Apply this scaling factor to completion time estimates
            for unstarted jobs in RR simulation
    - client: the estimation of remaining time of running jobs was wrong
        (how did this bug survive so long?)

Charlie  6 Jan 2010
    - client: Eliminate x86_64 Mac client; i386 client determines if 
        system supports x86_64 applications and sets HOSTTYPE and 
        platform accordingly.  This allows us to link with the 32-bit 
        CUDA libraries.  The one other effect is that the benchmarks 
        are run in 32-bit mode even on a 64-bit capable Mac.
    - client: Async get_state RPC was not updating state.have_ati field.
    - MGR: Rebuild Advanced Menu and Taskbar Menu after connecting to 
        client, so GPU Activity and Snooze GPU items are displayed if 
        needed.

David  11 Jan 2010
    - API: if app can't acquire lock file, tell the client not
        to restart app for 10 minutes.
        Hopefully what will happen is:
        - another instance of app is running in slot dir
            (shouldn't happen, but sometimes does)
        - that app will eventually finish, and will write
            a checkpoint file saying so.
            It will call boinc_finish(0), but the client won't notice
            that it has exited.
        - the next time the client starts the app,
            it will acquire lock, see that it's done,
            and call boinc_finish(0).
            This time the client will notice,
            and the job will be reported as correct.
        The downside to all this is that the client won't know
        that the CPU is in use, and will schedule NCPUS jobs.

    - file_deleter:
      - Limit the number of files to be deleted in one 'antique
        deletion' pass to 50000 (can be changed with -delete_antiques_limit).
    Previously large number of antiques led to not deleting any at all.
      - Allow to change the interval between passes with -delete_antiques_interval.
      - Allow to specify the name of an application instead of the appid.

    - client: add <stderr_head> config option;
        sends the first rather than last 64KB of stderr to server.
        This doesn't belong here; this choice should come from the server.
        I may take this out later.

    - MGR: The fix of 14 Oct 2009 for "initial first connection problem on 
        startup" caused the Tools menu to be incorrect when switching from 
        Simple to Advanced View if using an account manager: solve this by 
        calling pDoc->IsConnected() in CAdvancedFrame::CreateMenu() instead 
        of using bool argument bRPCsSafe.  Remove unused bRPCsSafe arg from 
        CAdvancedFrame::CreateNotebook(), CAdvancedFrame::CreateStatusbar().

    - server: client version numbers are represented as
        10000*major + 100*minor + release,
        rather than 100*major + minor.
        Sometimes you need release-level resolution.
        This affects:
        - app_version.min_core_version
        - config: min_core_client_version_announced
        - config: min_core_client_version
        Projects using these must multiply them by 100.
