I want to upgrade to version 5.10.13, however, I don't see any specific guidance about upgrading anywhere.

Do I just install over my existing version (5.10.7) or do I have to uninstall it first?

Thanks,
Ed
22) Message boards : BOINC Manager : BOINC Voice Widget?
Message 11340
Posted 28 Jun 2007 by Ed Meadows
For a long time, I've been thinking that a BOINC voice announcer widget would be a cool add-on. Whenever something important happens in the BOINC manager for any project, a voice would announce it over the computer's speakers. For example: "SETI at home: {downloading | starting | stopping | resuming | completing | uploading | reporting | aborting} work unit".

Since we're usually not looking at the BOINC UI, we could hear what's going on.

I'm not a developer so I'm throwing this suggestion out to the community. Are there any developers interested in building this?

Thanks,
Ed
