Hi there,

It looks like the 7.6.9 version has been publicly released (I got a notice for it in my client) but the link to the release notes only shows up to 7.6.7 (yours and the one on the download page). Thanks for posting the notes, but I guess not everyone will find them here...

Overnight World community grid and Einstein have now got new work so it seems to have sorted itself out eventually.

This all on latest stable version 7.0.64

Thanks for that. My client_state.xml snippets are as follows:

C:\ProgramData\BOINC>find "</rec>" client_state.xml

---------- CLIENT_STATE.XML
    <rec>809.820495</rec>
    <rec>14108.543545</rec>
    <rec>3349.302859</rec>
    <rec>4788.753401</rec>
    <rec>427.391411</rec>

C:\ProgramData\BOINC>find "/master_url" client_state.xml

---------- CLIENT_STATE.XML

    <master_url>http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/</master_url>


So world community grid should have the highest priority, but my Event log says:

27/08/2013 20:08:31 | World Community Grid | update requested by user
27/08/2013 20:08:34 | World Community Grid | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
27/08/2013 20:08:34 | World Community Grid | Not requesting tasks: project is not highest priority
27/08/2013 20:08:36 | World Community Grid | Scheduler request completed


Can anyone shed some light? Up until recently climate prediction was running behind on a few work units so they ran with the highest priority, but they've now either finished or are running on time and have dropped their high priority status.

I'm also getting a lot of "not requesting tasks: project is not highest priority", my question is where can you see (and hopefully edit) these priorities?

Whilst I had a couple of work units which themselves had high priority due to approaching deadlines I could understand this behaviour, but now they've finished I don't.
