Now there's an idea. Although this will probably add unnecessary white lines again, just as [pre/], [code/], [list/] and [quote/] do. But yeah, it's something to think about. Do you mean the generous margin the blocks have or something else? Anyway, I would expect that such things can be fixed. |

See the change log thread for examples aplenty. All the [list/] blocks have white spaces before and after, even with all the codes written on one line. However you cannot start a listing from directly behind a [list/] start container, as then the * will just be a * instead of a ball. So you must start the listing on the next line after the start container. Which adds two or more lines of white. Example given with the first list of the thread: [b]Preliminary Change Log 7.0.65 --> 7.1.1 (more or less complete now):[/b][list] * client: major overhaul of work-fetch logic based on suggestions by Jacob Klein. The new policy is roughly as follows: [/list] Available installers: This is how it looks in code, but this is what it does when executed: Preliminary Change Log 7.0.65 --> 7.1.1 (more or less complete now):
[quote]This is It![/quote] What? This will do: This is It! What? But [quote]This is It![/quote]What? This will do: This is It!What? See that the first adds a white line between the quote and the What? And that the second one doesn't? |

Ok, we are speaking of the same thing. I never realized [list] is that bad, of course I have never written a list before... |

The other thing I'm thinking of is that if such a [html/] container can be made, that I can use it seamlessly in a sentence. Now when you add any such container, it'll put the code, pre, quote, etc. in and then starts a new line. Or starts with a new line, then puts the contained subject in before adding another new line. I'll need the behaviour of the stress mark containers [b/], [i/], [u/] and perhaps [k/]. Ah, and it be only available to administrators, as they're the only ones who can execute HTML. Although I don't know why that is... Any ideas? |

Ah, and it be only available to administrators, as they're the only ones who can execute HTML. Although I don't know why that is... Any ideas? Try <script>alert('ha ha');</script> . Or if that's not bad enough: <script>while(1){alert('ha ha');}</script> . Before trying the latter, make sure to save any half composed messages or emails or whatever you have or use a browser that allows stopping scripts. I'm not much of an evil hacker but I think you could write a script that posts new messages or changes crunching settings for any logged in user. |

Small bug in 7.4.36: Jobs running at high priority are listed in the status column of the BOINC manager only as <running> but not as <running, high priority> like in older versions. I've verified that these jobs are still running with high priority after update 7.0.64 -> 7.4.36 (BoincTasks) |

I've verified that these jobs are still running with high priority after update 7.0.64 -> 7.4.36 (BoincTasks) It's not a Bug, DA removed mention of High priority, no-one managed to convince him of alternate wording to use, It's been like that since Boinc 7.4.24: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/gitweb/?p=boinc-v2.git;a=commit;h=bca7c006deae20cc31be20fc37396bb4c0cfafc2 Manager: omit ", high priority" from task status He at least put mention of 'High prioity' when you set 'cpu_sched_debug', that's in 7.4.28 and later: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/gitweb/?p=boinc-v2.git;a=commit;h=28f18bea30d819290ba647286fdec01763c53180 client: indicate "high-priority" tasks in event log (if cpu_sched_debug set) Claggy |

For those wondering what's up with those BOINC 7.5.0's on the DL page, it's not got any new things in the client, it's merely a test run for us (David, Rom, Charlie, Jacob and me) for switching the menus and menu contents around. Although those of you who have downloaded it should check out and test the new exclusive applications editor for the GPU. Or just wait until an official test 7.5 surfaces. :) |

I didn't see 7.5.0 on the download page anymore, but I managed to download somekind of Win x64 version by guessing the file name :) It installed smoothly, but it doesn't seem to start (using Win 7 64bit). I run the installer as administrator, as usually. Boinc manager doesn't show up on the screen. When I click boincmgr Windows Task Manager shows a new process is trying to start, but that process then disappeares immediately :( I tried some compatibility modes but that didn't help. |

Same here on Win7 32 bit Boinc client cannot start. |

Best for me to post it here, I think. David Anderson wrote: BOINC's funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation has ended, at least for the time being. |

Rom has little time these days to build BOINC. Luckily building BOINC is easy these days. You can follow the Compile Client Wiki page, or else I will build beta BOINC. I've just built 7.6.7 for myself, will build a 32bit and 64bit beta version next. One thing, when you do want to build your own BOINC, you need the boinc_depends_win_vs2013 repository. The Compile Client page points to the repositories store and there it says how to download the vs2010 repository. This is the wrong version for vs2013. Instead use your git program of choice to download http://boinc.berkeley.edu/git/boinc_depends_win_vs2013.git |

I could probably try to set up a temp web site with my ISP, but since they're under DDoS attack, I can't reach them. It's very possible that no one can reach me, because my internet is still going through the ISP. That I have internet is purely because I don't use my ISP's DNS servers but those of Google. :) At the moment I freed bandwidth in my torrent program so these clients could upload. I've also stored them on my NAS and turned the BT client on it on (that's bit torrent client, not British Telecom). I only managed to upload the torrents through one site so far. Still waiting for permission from KAT. I surely do not have any intent to register at all possible torrent sites. 2 other sites I signed up with have a 12 hour cool off period to prevent spammers. BOINC User Wiki doesn't allow files larger than 2MB, and they are 13 and 13.5MB. :( In the case people want me to upload through MEGA, no can do, can't reach it. Has it been taken out again? Oh, and yes, the client's working perfectly: <core_client_version>7.6.7</core_client_version> |

Rom has little time these days to build BOINC. I prefer to wait for a stable-compiled version... |

I upgraded six hosts from 7.6.6 to 7.6.7 (64bit, Windows 7 & 10). Boinc benchmark results 7.6.6: Measured floating point speed: about 3900 million ops/sec Measured integer speed: about 10000 million ops/sec 7.6.7: Measured floating point speed: 2319.06 million ops/sec Measured integer speed: 3039.21 million ops/sec All hosts got that same treatment. Benchmark results suffered in the same magnitude. That hasn't really been a problem so far, because the actual crunching speed hasn't changed. WU's seem to complete in pretty much the same time as earlier. Interesting anyway. |
