As far as I can say, this version works fine so far.

Tested with WCG, POEM@Home and MalariaControl; with CPU and GPU WUs; on a WinXP System (SP4) at an AthlonII X2 260 (yes I upgraded) @ 2 GB RAM.


Nice work guys :)

Still working good so far. No probs of any kind. :)

A question: Why isn't the actual version in the alpha testing? It is not listed under http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha . Just thought I should mention that.

THere have been reports of issues with the time estimates for GPU work.

One of the changes in .32 was to assume a default of CPU flops x 10 (previously was CPU flops). The reports have concerned Seti and timing out with "estimated time exceeded" errors. It might be something specific to Seti which usually has the latest version of server code.

I have .33 installed on one of my rigs and haven't noticed anything but then I am running the optimised apps for Seti which are faster.
