Developmental boinc_5.4.9_windows_intelx86.exe WARNING this one may have bugs. Use at own risk.

that said I an other boinc testers are running it without any "showstoppers" found yet (maybe a proxy issue).

This has been handled quite some times in these forums.

Example one
Example two
Example three

As an aside, does BOINC have an e-mail list one can subscribe to to be notified of new versions and such?

There is the BOINC Developers email list, but that's a bit overkill for just watching a BOINC release. If you check the forums of any project you crunch for on a regular basis, someone will post up a notice when it is released. :)

As well as that someone will post it here on the BOINC forums.

Please everyone, have a little patience. We're closing on the release date of BOINC 5.4.7 or .8

That one will have this fixed. As it is using a different port to communicate between boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe. At this moment port 1043 is used, but that port's been taken up by a couple of Microsoft applications. They don't mind to steal.

So the next BOINC will use port 31416, until that one is stolen by Microsoft. ;)
