We would like to thank everybody who helped with this release, without your tireless help we would not have been able to get this release out the door.

The highlights for this release are:
1. Improved security on Windows machines
2. Windows Vista compatibility
3. Multi-selection for projects, tasks, transfers, and messages tabs.

- Read the FAQ here: http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php?view=376

- The release notes can be found here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Release_Notes

Once again, thanks to everybody who made this release possible.

BOINC 6.2.16 has been released as the new recommended version for Windows. This one includes the bug fix for the keyboard and mouse activity detection.

For all other platforms, 6.2.15 is the recommended version.

Before any of you wonder again.... 6.2.16 is showing back as development version and 5.10.45 as recommended version, due to a bug in the graphics application which can cause BOINC/the computer to hang when running Seti - Astropulse as a screen saver. This is both with 6.2 and 6.3

It affects all versions of Windows.

Rom is busy building new versions with a fix in which may be released later today.
