<a href=http://216.198.119.31/BOINC/language_ini/language.htm>Non-English
language.ini files</a> are available.
Preferences include time-of-day restrictions.
Core client and applications communicate via shared memory and signals
rather than files, reducing disk traffic.

<br>
New account parameters and preferences: URL, limit number of processors,
frequency of writes to disk, whether to show your computers on the web.

<br>
Participants can have separate preferences
(such as network and disk usage limits)
for computers at home, work, and school.

A <a href=http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/~eheien/ap_ss.jpg>screenshot</a> of the
BOINC client running AstroPulse, our first test application.
<br><br>
<b>December 10, 2002</b>
<br>
We have started a beta test of BOINC using
the Astropulse application.
Many bugs have been found and fixed.
<br><br>
<b>August 24, 2002</b>
<br>BOINC is under development.
The basic features are working on UNIX platforms.
We plan to release the first public application of BOINC later this year.
