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

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

- make_project: change name of example app from uppercase to example_app.
- update_versions: allow version numbers to not have decimal points

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.

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)

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

make_project now generates PROJECT/bin/boinc_path_config.py

(attempt to send big jobs to fast hosts, small jobs to slow hosts).
- have "census" compute mean/stdev of host speeds,
write it to a file perf_info.txt
- have feeder compute mean/stdev of sizes of jobs in shmem
- have feeder read perf_info.txt into shmem
- scheduler: add some debugging messages for app version selection
- Add LGPL license to a few files
- upgrade/setup scripts: copy census to bin/

This will allow applications to access shared libraries
by their logical names,
which simplifies things when you have multiple platforms,
and the apps (or libraries) refer to shared libraries
by names that don't include the platform.
This shouldn't impact the API - boinc_resolve_filename()
will open the file, see that it's not an XML link file,
and the symbolic link will be used directly.
At some point we can change boinc_resolve_filename() on Unix
to be a no-op if the client is 6.2+
- client (Unix):
Append the slot dir to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
