+    - Bug Fix: Inconsistant window state was causing the BOINC Manager to
+        be blank on startup, basically either wxWidgets or Windows wasn't
+        properly dealing with the Window state changes and the client
+        would believe it was not being displayed when in fact it was on
+        the screen.  When the window was hidden from view, it would
+        skip updating any of the controls.
