<h3>Status and news</h3>

<b>June 10, 2003</b>
<br>
<a href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu/db_dump.html">XML based statistics</a> for
the Astropulse beta test are <a href="http://maggie.ssl.berkeley.edu/ap/stats/">available</a>.
<br><br>
<b>May 30, 2003</b>
<br>
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.
<br><br>
<b>April 29, 2003</b>
<br>
We have created a second project, allowing beta testers to
experiment with dividing their resources between multiple projects.
<br><br>
<b>April 23, 2003</b>
<br>
We have resumed the BOINC beta test.
<br><br>
<b>April 9, 2003</b>
<br>
Due to a legal issue,
we are suspending the BOINC beta test,
and we have requested that BOINC source code
no longer be available at Sourceforge.net.
We hope to resolve this issue soon.
<br><br>
<b>March 31, 2003</b>
<br>
We are preparing a BOINC-based version of SETI@home.
See a <a href=setiathome.jpg>preview of the graphics</a>.

<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.
