	- core client: if an app fails to start,
		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.

    - Win SETUP: Add custom actions for saving and restoring user preferences
        to the registry
    - Win SETUP: MoveFileEx isn't spported on the Win9x platform, so dynamically
        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.

    - Win SETUP: Fix an issue when restoring saved properties where junk was
        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
        in the registry when the MSI package is being deployed through AD or
        some other deployment mechinism.

        NOTE: I believe my changes will work on Windows, but I couldn't test 
        this because of crashes on Windows.  So my changes are temporarily 
        guarded by #ifdef __WXMAC__ #else #endif.

	- core client: fixed crashing bug that happens when attaching
		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

Rom    9 Jan 2007
    - MGR: Fix crashing issue do to invalid type casts, wxWidgets implements
        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.
    - MGR: Remove the ifdefs for SIMPLE GUI, it is now enabled by default
        on all supported platforms.

Walt   9 Jan 2007
    - core client: Change function that calculates RAM and SWAP used
        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
        times for some science apps.

		try to preempt it; that confuses things)

    - SCR: Disable the diagnostic support for release builds of the
        Windows screensaver. A smarter thing to do in the future is
        to write the log files to the 'temp' directory.

David  11 Jan 2007
    - 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.

    html/ops/
        clean_cache.php (new)

David  11 Jan 2007
    - user web: call set_time_limit(0) in cache_check_diskspace().
        This will hopefully avoid the situation described above.

    - MGR: Fix build break for Unicode support.

      NOTE: The only place in the manager where it is safe to use 'char'
      variable types for use within a string is in the gui_rpc_* files.
      
      Every where else needs to use wxString, otherwise the manager
      won't build in a unicode based environment.

    clientgui/

David  12 Jan 2007
    - 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).
