+<br>
+We've incremented the major version number of BOINC to 2.  All BOINC
+components must follow the major version number: we've upgraded the Astropulse
+server to 2.01 and released BOINC core client 2.01.  This was due to an
+architecture and protocol change in specifying resource estimates and limits.
+<br><br>
+<b>September 1, 2003</b>
+<br>
+BOINC server tools are now Python-based.  A <a href=python.php>database
+back-end API</a> allows quick development of data-manipulation utilities.

+<br>
+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 client is at version 1.09.
