<h3>Version 5.4</h3>

|
|
BOINC now lets you use 'Account managers' - special web sites
|
|
that let you browse BOINC projects, attach/detach,
|
|
change resource share and settings,
|
|
all with point-and-click simplicity.
|
|
Account managers are also great if you have several computers -
|
|
you just have to make changes once.
|
|
A couple of excellent account managers are nearly ready for use;
|
|
stay tuned to the
|
|
<a href=http://boinc.berkeley.edu/>BOINC web site</a> for details.
|
|
<li>
|
|
Fixes a bug where a personal firewall prevents the BOINC screensaver
|
|
from running, causing your computer to lock up.
|
|
<li>
|
|
General preferences can be overridden by a local file
|
|
details are <a href=http://boinc.berkeley.edu/prefs_override.php>here</a>.
|
|
<li>
|
|
BOINC now alerts you whenever it needs you
|
|
to create a network connection.
|
|
<li> SOCKS5 proxies are now supported.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Version 5.3</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Customized clients can now be created.
|
|
<li> Account manager support has been enhanced.
|
|
<li> Farm manager support has been added.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>Version 5.2</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> You attach to projects using your own email address and password.
|
|
Long, random 'account keys' are no longer used.
|
|
<li> BOINC checks for proxy configuration problems
|
|
when you first attach to a project.
|
|
<li>
|
|
The file gui_rpc_auth.cfg contains a password that
|
|
protects the BOINC client from control by other users on the same host.
|
|
BOINC automatically generates a password if none is found.
|
|
If you use tools like BOINCView you may need to look it up or change it.
|
|
If you need to revert from 5.2.x to an earlier version,
|
|
you must delete gui_rpc_auth.cfg from your BOINC directory.
|
|
<li> Alert boxes now provide feedback when certain errors occur.
|
|
<li> BOINC supports 'Account Management Systems' (to be announced).
|
|
</ul>
