Thankyou for the work in releasing ongoing improvements. Some feedback on this release, in the installation where it discusses the Service Install, it says: "Run project applications under an unprivileged account. This provides increased protection from faulty applications, and on Windows, it will prevent the use of applications that use graphics chips (GPUs) (A reboot may be required). There's a fullstop missing after GPUs. Also, it's not clear whether on Windows, whether it provides increased protection from faulty applications. I had to read this a few times to understand. Perhaps it should be an end of sentence after applications. Remove the word 'and', and then the word 'on' be the start of the next sentence. Cheers |

I see the release notes for 7.20.2, but when I go to the downloads page it shows 7.14.2. If I download the file anyway the popup tool tips also refer to 7.14.2. How do I get the latest version? |

7.14.2 is for 32bit Windows. The present BOINC versions are for 64bit Windows only. The download page at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php recognizes your operating system and shows you the correct version for that OS. So it would seem your Windows is 32bit only. |

Hi Jord, Thanks for your comments. My Windows is 64bit, and the 7.14.2 reference persisted even after multiple cache clearings and restarts, but I've been able to get and install 7.20.2 since. Hope it stays fixed for the next release! Cheers, Ardis |
