Apple announced today that OSX 10.6.0 will be available on August 28th 2009 this friday. I am planing to grab 10.6.0 on friday and wanted to know if BOINC will run. Also does anyone know when 10.6 specific features will be enabled. from better multi processing support and GPU support will be enabled. Thanks for any feed back anyone can give.

I think I posted this originally in the wrong forum. I am reposting it in what I think is the right forum.

Hi Jord,

Snow Leopard has broken _all_ third-party screensavers. (Not even Apple's older screensavers work; Apple has updated them all.)

I have fixed this in BOINC 6.10.0 and 6.10.2. But of course they are still alpha releases.


6.10.0 is available from here.
6.10.2 is available from here.

MacOS X 10.6 and BOINC 6.10.2 (boinc_6.10.2_macOSX_universal.zip)

Installer hangs on "Preparing BOINC manager" screen. Nothing happens for several minutes



when trying to close it says "Installer is busy, window cant be closed"

only sudo kill -9 helps

ps: 6.6.x works/installing fine
I crunch for Ukraine
