<h3>Status and news</h3>

<b>August 1, 2003</b>
<br>
We fixed various bugs and added some new interface features. The BOINC core client is at version 1.09.
<br><br>
<b>July 25, 2003</b>
<br>
We've added two new web-site features for BOINC projects:
user profiles and message boards.
These are visible on the <a href=http://maggie.ssl.berkeley.edu/ap/>beta-test web site</a>.
<br><br>
<b>July 23, 2003</b>
<br>
The <a href=source/>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://setiboinc.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.
