Projects will need to update DB and recompile all back-end programs.
Summary:
- new way of computing credit
- "reliable host" mechanism is per app version
- "host punishment" mechanism is per app version
- adjustment of wu.rsc_fpops_est provides the
equivalent of per app version DCF
- max jobs in progress is now per app
- max jobs per RPC is now per app
TODO:
- reliable mechanism:
- populate and use host_app_version.error_rate
- populate host_app_version.turnaround
- host punishment:
- populate host_app_version.max_jobs_per_day
- populate host_app_version.n_jobs_today
- use app.max_jobs_per_day_init
- job limits:
- use app.max_jobs_in_progress, max_gpu_jobs_in_progress
- use app.max_jobs_per_rpc
- adjust wu.rsc_fpops_est
- remove old credit stuff
fpops_cumulative, credit_multiplier
credit computation in scheduler
- AVERAGE class: use the Knuth algorithm (Wikipedia)

Old: in a flat file (html/project/project_news.inc)
New: in a forum (called "News" by default)
The script html/ops/news_convert.php copies news from
old to new format.
You'll also need to edit your index.php and use
"show_news(0, 5)" to show news.
- web: added a "message of the day" mechanism.
Edit html/user/motd.php to show a message.
This will be shown as the first news item,
but it's not archived (i.e., it's not a forum post)
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=19949
which compiles the translation files into the form
used by the web code.
Projects that don't use "upgrade" will need to do this manually
whenever translation files change.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=17652
(after user confirmation).
This is called from "upgrade", and can also be run by itself.
NOTE: this mechanism will handle all DB updates going forward.
Older updates must be done the old way (edit and run db_update.php)
- Web: let teams determine whether they're accepting new members
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=16160
in the project home directory.
It contains the output of /usr/bin/svnversion,
i.e. the code revision from which the server software was built.
- Web files that create directories now give them g+rwx permissions
