<h3>Status and news</h3>

<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.
<br><br>
<b>March 19, 2003</b>
<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><br>
<b>March 4, 2003</b>
<br>
Participants can have separate preferences
(such as network and disk usage limits)
for computers at home, work, and school.
