We need a discussion spot that's not in the Aqua thread...
New release. Been out almost a week now. Messages tab is gone, and for that we weep. :( But what about some of the other features?
* New: Project notices. This feature is designed to help projects improve communication between themselves and the volunteers by automatically displaying project news within the BOINC Manager
* New: VirtualBox Detection for projects that want to process work within a Virtual Machine
* New: New BOINC Skin for the simple GUI
* Fix: Numerous CPU/GPU scheduling fixes
* Fix: Numerous work-fetch fixes
* Fix: Adjust permissions when installed as a service so that project GPU applications are not denied access to GPU DLLs (WinXP and Win2000 Only)
The "GPU works when installed as a service" and the VBox thing seem particularly interesting... anyone test these or other features out?
