<h3>Status and news</h3>

<b>July 23, 2003</b>
<br>
The <a href=source.html>BOINC source code</a> is available again,
under <a href=legal.html>a new public license</a>.
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.
<br><br>
<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>.
