Re: BOINC 7.x breaks BOINC Project Updater
I'll install BOINC 7.0.3 and step through the code in debug and see if I can find the problem.

Re: BOINC 7.x breaks BOINC Project Updater
I found the first error. Once again, the guys at Berkeley really need to take an XML 101 course. They have invalid characters embedded in their XML. That's what happens when developers think XML is just text with < and > around it. It would be nice if they would at least read the specs: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/
Anyway, it looks like they removed or changed the project_update api call. I'm not sure which yet or if there is a workaround.

Thank you Slicker. Too bad they don't have sense enough to hire you. But then, I guess, they would have to pay you an awful lot of money to put up with them.......

Re: BOINC 7.x breaks BOINC Project Updater
It turns out that they used to use
<project_update>\a<project_url>\ahttp://a.b.c/d/</project_url>\a</project_update>\a
and now they want
<project_update>\n<project_url>\nhttp://a.b.c/d/</project_url>\n</project_update>
If they were using actual XML, they would be expecting
<project_update><project_url>http://a.b.c/d/</project_url></project_update>
and if they wanted better performance and to use less bandwidth, they would use
<project action="update" url="http://a.b.c/d/"/>
Anyway, here's a new version that works with 7.0.3:
