BOINC 7.20.7 was released but there are still no "what's new?" notes available on the release notes page. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Release_Notes

Can someone please post them now and in the future ?

Thanks

I wonder if this was not an official release as on git-hub release page it goes from 7.20.5 to 7.22.0?

It's official enough that I got a notification from the BOINC app that it was available for download.

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.20.7_macOSX_universal.zip

I just wish they'd add the "what's new" at release time, just like when it's a windows update.

Sorry, not quite sure if the Mac updates show on that page. I will have a look on git-hub later to see if I can find it.

BOINC for Mac is not released through GitHub. It’s built and uploaded separately by Charlie Fenton.

7.20.7 is a hotfix for a display bug (mentioned in threads here and here).
