<li> Grid based views.

<li> An Uninstaller is now included with the Macintosh BOINC Manager distribution.
<li> NOTE: BOINC may NOT start at startup if you are running Windows Defender
(WinXP, WinXPx64, WinVista, WinVistax64). This issue should be resolved in a
future version of BOINC. In order to have BOINC start automatically you'll need
to install as a service. On Vista the user account will need to have
administrative access to the system.

clipboard functionality.

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.

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.

and PowerPC macs in the same files. This is indicated by the
new download package names: boinc_5.4.0_macOSX_universal.zip and
boinc_5.4.0_universal-apple-darwin.zip.

to run on Intel Macs: i686-apple-darwin. The new universal binary
Mac clients automatically request applications from the old
powerpc-apple-darwin platform when running on a PowerPC Mac, and
from the new i686-apple-darwin platform when running on an Intel Mac.

from a version of BOINC earlier than 5.4.0 on an Intel Mac, or if you are
transferring BOINC Data from a PowerPC Mac to an Intel Mac, or from an
Intel Mac to a PowerPC Mac. To prevent this, open BOINC Manager window,
select the Projects tab, select each project and press the Update button.
Then select the Tasks tab and make sure there are no tasks \"Ready to report.\"

WxWidgets 2.6.2, libcurl 7.15.3.
