Status and newsWe'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. September 1, 2003 BOINC server tools are now Python-based. A database back-end API allows quick development of data-manipulation utilities. August 15, 2003 We rewrote parts of the scheduling server architecture which makes operations more flexible and efficient. (There is no longer a timeout_check
daemon, and there is now a new transitioner daemon.)
August 1, 2003 We fixed various bugs and added some new interface features. The BOINC core client is at version 1.09. July 25, 2003 We've added two new web-site features for BOINC projects: user profiles and message boards. These are visible on the beta-test web site. July 23, 2003 The BOINC source code is available again, under a new public license. Version 1.05 incorporates bug fixes and new features, including the ability to add your own graphics to the screensaver. The beta test has been resumed, and the scheduling server and database have been moved to a new machine. June 10, 2003 XML based statistics for the Astropulse beta test are available. May 30, 2003 No big news to report, but thanks to the beta test we've fixed a number of bugs, involving runaway applications, too-large output files, screensaver behavior, and mechanisms for quitting and resetting projects. April 29, 2003 We have created a second project, allowing beta testers to experiment with dividing their resources between multiple projects. April 23, 2003 We have resumed the BOINC beta test.
