Message 32886 - Posted: 19 May 2010, 10:41:58 UTC - in response to Message 32880.  

Using the latest libraries doesn't always make the greatest BOINC. We've seen this on the Macintosh recently where both libcurl and c-ares were updated to the latest version and promptly all Mac users updating to that version couldn't reach the projects anymore.

They'll be updated as and when needed and after its been made sure they don't break functionality on older OSes.

In this case you might be right, then treat this post just as some expimental info for future win7_x64 updates, everthing works great here so far.
