Please note that this is an advanced planning list only. Final design and detailed implementation has not yet been agreed: there is no version available for download, even for testing.

This is just preliminary announcement, so that testers will know what to test for. ID: 110019 · Reply Quote

Hi Team, Where can I find 7.22 client sw... all I see posted is 7.20.2 If you are interested in the most up to date version possible, you can download the master from 2.21.0 from git-hub and roll your own. Mine was last updated like that two days ago. I should check with Richard what needs checking with regards to curl in that respect, though finding it among the detritus from WCG will be interesting.

Windows, Mac and Android versions available via the download all page. A query has been raised over the build procedure for Linux - might be advisable to wait for that one. ID: 110956 · Reply Quote

A query has been raised over the build procedure for Linux - might be advisable to wait for that one. Compiled and installed OK here. On starting the updated client, it asked me to run systemctl daemon-reload which I haven't seen before on updates within testing branch. Nothing untoward seen so far though given I am only running one or two tasks at a time, slowly running through my queue of CPDN work and building up my queue of uploads, probably not much chance for me to spot problems.

This must be run once whenever you touched a systemd service unit file. The command ensures systemd checks/updates it's data structures, e.g. dependencies to other services. ID: 110960 · Reply Quote

The only significant change is to correct a bug which prevented the BOINC screensaver running on those two platforms. ID: 111861 · Reply Quote

Trying to remember when I last used the BOINC screensaver without success. Edit: I think I should probably have written, "Trying without success to remember when i last used the 'BOINC screensaver."
