I notice that there's often several weeks/months before the Release Notes for a new Boinc version is posted. Can the person in charge please update asap for 7.16.14 and in the future update them faster. The current page is still showing 7.16.11 only.: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Release_Notes Thank you very much |

The problem here is with the logic of the download page. Only for Apple does it show 7.16.14 as recommended, and then not even all Apple versions. For Windows it still shows 7.16.11 as recommended. The release manager for Windows updates the release notes page, and as he did not release a new BOINC for Windows, he didn't update the Release Notes page. 7.16.13 has a fix for the problem the screen saver had with Big Sur (MacOS 11). 7.16.14 has a fix for not being able to install 7.16.12 due to "digital signature is invalid" errors on older MacOS versions. However, 7.16.14 requires MacOS 10.9 or higher. |

With that logic, it makes total sense. I know Windows is the main client here but if someone could allow a new Mac version to auto update the Release Notes page, that'd be great. Thank you very much for the reply. |
