We've incremented the major version number of BOINC to 2. All BOINC
|
2003-09-07 05:35:59 +00:00
|
|
|
components must follow the major version number: we've upgraded the <a
|
|
|
|
|
href=http://maggie.ssl.Berkeley.edu/ap/>Astropulse</a> server to 2.01 and
|
2003-09-07 05:36:30 +00:00

released <a href=http://setiboinc.ssl.Berkeley.edu/ap/download.php>BOINC core

2003-09-07 05:35:59 +00:00

|
|
client 2.01</a>. This was due to an architecture and protocol change in
|
|
|
|
|
specifying resource estimates and limits.

BOINC server tools are now Python-based. A <a href=python.php>database
|
|
|
|
|
back-end API</a> allows quick development of data-manipulation utilities.

We rewrote parts of the scheduling server architecture which makes operations
|
|
|
|
|
more flexible and efficient. (There is no longer a <code>timeout_check</code>
|
|
|
|
|
daemon, and there is now a new <code>transitioner</code> daemon.)

We fixed various bugs and added some new interface features. The BOINC core

We've added two new web-site features for BOINC projects:
|
|
|
|
|
user profiles and message boards.
|
|
|
|
|
These are visible on the <a href=http://maggie.ssl.berkeley.edu/ap/>beta-test web site</a>.

under <a href=legal.html>a new public license</a>.

Version 1.05 incorporates bug fixes and new features,

including the ability to add your own graphics to the screensaver.

The beta test has been resumed, and the scheduling server and

|
|
database have been moved to a new machine.

No big news to report,
|
|
|
|
|
but thanks to the beta test we've fixed a number of bugs,
|
|
|
|
|
involving runaway applications, too-large output files,
|
|
|
|
|
screensaver behavior, and mechanisms for
|
|
|
|
|
quitting and resetting projects.
