See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/MultiSize
The components of this include:
- DB changes:
add size_class to workunit and result
n_size_classes to app; >1 means multi-size
- size_regulator daemon program: change results states
from INACTIVE to UNSENT carefully
- size_census program; writes quantile info in flat files
- transitioner: when creating results for multi-size apps,
set server state to INACTIVE
- sched shmem (feeder): read quantile info from flat files,
store in shared memory
- scheduler (score-based scheduling): for multi-size apps,
add component to score function for size class.
- show_shmem: show result size class
- make_work (and other callers of count_unsent_results()):
count both INACTIVE and UNSENT
- create_work: add --size_class cmdline option
Also:
- if get MySQL errors in upgrade, don't rewrite db_version
and non-CPU-intensive applications.
An app can be specified as non-CPU-intensive in project.xml,
and this attribute can be set or cleared using the admin web interface.
Note: support for this was added to the client in 2011,
but we didn't add server-side support at that time.
This change is in 6.12 and later clients.

says whether the client is using account-based sandboxing.
Needed by vboxwrapper.
- web: don't show authenticator in Your Account page.
The problem with authenticators is that if a bad guys gets yours,
they can log in to your account even if you change your password.
Eventually we should not use them at all
(i.e. in cookies and sent to client).
- make_project: copy python stuff (e.g. bin/start) for web-only projects;
generate appropriate project.readme file for web-only projects.

for canceling jobs
- added program cancel_jobs for canceling jobs
- DB interface: it's not an error if update_fields_noid()
affects != 1 rows

and other operations.
You can now designate a user as "manager" for a particular app.
They can then:
- control job-submit permissions for that app
- deprecate/undeprecate versions of the app.
- abort jobs for that app
You can also designate a user a manage for the project.
They can then edit permissions and quotas,
as well as performing the app-specific functions for all apps.
This is described here:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/MultiUser#Accesscontrol
This required some changes to the DB schema.

- don't create result records for uploads and downloads.
Just create a msg_to_client record.
- the scheduler handles file-transfer results specially;
it makes a vector of them, then calls a project-supplied function
handle_file_xfer_results()
- change the interface and implementation of put_file and get_file
- client write project sched priority in GUI RPC replies,
but not to the state file

Problems with the old version:
- Lots of info encoded in file and directory names: messy kludge
- The convention that directory name == main program name
created a bad situation when using the wrapper:
if you made a new version of your application,
you were forced make a new version of the wrapper
just so it could have a different name.
The new version is described here:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/AppVersionNew
- Remove some Python code that suppored the old version
- client: some fixes to dir_size() that might fox
a buffer overflow when using symbolic links
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=23525
that need it, then exits.
For big projects coming up after an outage, run this before bin/start
to minimize startup overload
- tweaks to PHP libraries to allow them to be used
by scripts anywhere in the dir hierarchy

(for many platforms) from samples/example_app/bin
- make_project: change name of example app from uppercase to example_app.
- update_versions: allow version numbers to not have decimal points
- sample work generator: make app name and template files
command-line options;
default to "example_app", "example_app_in.xml", "example_app_out.xml"

where being omitted from query strings.
This is incorrect.
For example, suppose you have an app version with nonempty plan_class,
then you try to add a version with no plan class.
The query would omit the "and plan_class = ''"
so it would match the existing app version and not add a new version.
Reported by Rytis.
Hopefully this won't break anything.

It wasn't copying html/ops/db_update.php,
so it wasn't doing necessary DB updates.
Fixed this by always copying html/ops/*.
Even with this fix, there is a problem when using
the --server_only or --web_only options of upgrade:
if any DB updates are done, they may affect the
server code that's not being updated, resulting in crashes.
I added a warning message in this case,
recommending that a full upgrade be done.

see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CreditNew
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)

TODO: do this for input files too
- client: check return values from CUDA device detection functions

It is now possible to use the same set of tools for multiple
projects by setting BOINC_PROJECT_PATH.
