     72== Notification Flag Supported ==
     73Clients that support the BOINC Notification System should include the following flag:
     74{{{
     75<notifications_supported />
     76}}}
     77
     78When the BOINC Server scheduler sees this flag it’ll include extra information in the scheduler reply that is to be included in the BOINC Client Feed stream.

     80== BOINC Client Feed Stream ==
     81The BOINC Client feed stream is a special in memory RSS feed the BOINC Client software maintains for various user interface components.
     82
     83BOINC Server scheduler replies can add items to the feed stream as well as the client itself.
     84
    7285== Server Scheduler ==
    7386The server scheduler is responsible for aggregating the various pieces of information about feeds and pushes the result to the client as part of the scheduler reply.  A similar process is used for the GUI URLs.
