Howdy Folks,

We have a new build out that should address quite a few issues that were
discovered after the public release.

Fixes should include:
* Attaching to World Community Grid
* Back-up projects (0 Resource Share)
* Suspending GPUs should not suspend Bitcoin Miners
* Improved error message handling for app_config.xml parsing errors
* Better detection of notice updates (reduces the number of system notifications)
* Should ignore VirtualBox installer errors and proceed with BOINC installation
* Updates to OpenSSL(1.0.1j) and LibCurl(7.39.0)

Outstanding issues:
* Certain locales with certain types of characters are causing a crash in the manager

This is a release candidate.

Please report your test results as quickly as possible to: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/test_form.php

Please report any bugs to boinc_alpha@ssl.berkeley.edu.

Thanks in advance.

v7.4.32 is now available on the 'download all' page. It installs and runs OK (64-bit Windows), but I don't use the backup project setting. Any testers?

Hi Richard,

I would love to test it, but WCG sent monster BETA's to my machines containing 1 single job in a Workunit, so no checkpointing and running now 14 hours and 50% progress.
Will see tomorrow ;-)

client: fix bug where GPU jobs non suspended

There was a bug where, when you suspend GPU activity,
GPU jobs show as suspended but are not actually suspended.
This was because of recent changes to distinguish GPU and non-GPU coprocs.
Change things so that coprocs are by default GPUs.
If you want to declare a non-GPU coproc in your cc_config.xml,
you much put <non_gpu/> in its <coproc> element.

Howdy Folks,

I've posted a new build which addresses:
* Increasing the maximum number of coprocessor devices to 64.
* GPU Suspension issue.

This is a release candidate.

REMINDER TO ALL ALPHA TESTERS:
It's far easier for the developers to fix problems when you send message logs with the appropriate flags set. The main flags are:

<cpu_sched_debug>: problems involving the choice of applications to run.
<work_fetch_debug>: problems involving work fetch (which projects are asked for work, and how much).
<rr_simulation>: problems involving jobs being run in high-priority mode.
<sched_op_debug>: problems involving scheduler operations and other low level information.

No, that text was there, but I always forget that the admin title means any &lt; and &gt; signs get executed. So instead I have to use [code/] containers, or as in this case, use HTML name signs.

Howdy Folks,

I've posted a new build which addresses:
* BOINC Manager now resets the column lists in the advanced view when
restarted. (This reverts back to 7.4.27 and older behavior)

This is a release candidate.

Please report your test results as quickly as possible to: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/test_form.php

Please report any bugs to boinc_alpha@ssl.berkeley.edu.

Thanks in advance.

Do you think it would be better if the BBCode and HTML modes were separated? Say, if there were a [html] BBCode tag. What's inside that is passed to the web page as is, no processing at all. And what's outside it gets the normal processing, escaping HTML tags and all.
