Package: boinc-client Version: 6.2.12-1 Severity: wishlist *** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi there, Please upgrade to 6.2.25 on Debian. Giving below the changelog between 6.2.25 and 6.2.18 (the one in experimental) taken from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=2518#20929 World Community Grid Beta BOINC 6.2.25 Fixed ability to read global preferences. World Community Grid Beta BOINC 6.2.24 The core client will now use the lesser of the number of cores defined by the existing max processors settings or the new max percent of processor settings. This provides backwards compatibility. World Community Grid Beta BOINC 6.2.21 and 6.2.23 * Code so that the simple gui will display a message that the applications are 'Paused: Application start delayed' when the cc_config.xml contains the delay start option * There was a bug on windows in the simple gui so that if the taskbar was at the top of the screen, then the slide show images would be offset and only partially shown. The actual bug appears to be a wxWidgets code, but a work around is implemented. * The skin tags for organizations were fixed to have the proper spelling of organization (they were 'organizaton') * Allow settings in the cc_config.xml file to override the default website to use for the network connection test and for new application version check * Add text to explain the difference between choosing between research applications available at World Community Grid and attaching to a new project (this only shows if the user is using the WCG version of the boinc client and if they are also attached to WCG) when they start the process of attaching to a new project Within our installer, we have done the following * Updated the WCG skin * Add a custom action that will delete a version of the cc_config.xml that is identical to the version installed with a previous WCG version. The new cc_config.xml is only installed if there is not currently a cc_config.xml present. * Modified how the ALLUSERS flag is set, so that the option that the user selects for 'Allow all users on this computer to manage', their choice is honored (details given to Rom so he can fix the BOINC version) * By default, the setup config screen now will show the box for "Allow all users on this computer...." as unchecked so that unless the user overrides, only they can control BOINC * Modify the manager shortcut in the startup folder so that it is run as 'normal' window instead of 'minimized'. This fixes the issue of the BOINC manager advanced view opening super tiny after a reboot. (details given to Rom so he can fix the BOINC version) * Change the text on configuration screen: "Use BOINC Screensaver" becomes "Use the World Community Grid - BOINC Screensaver" "Protected application execution" becomes "Run the research applications under a restricted account. A reboot may be required after installation. (Recommended)" "Allow all users on this computer to control BOINC" becomes "Allow all users on this computer to manage the World Community Grid - BOINC software" "Click Next to use these options." becomes "Click Next to use these directories and the options checked." "Click Advanced to customize options." becomes "Click Advanced to change these settings." -- Package-specific info: -- Contents of /etc/default/boinc-client: # This file is /etc/default/boinc-client, it is a configuration file for the # /etc/init.d/boinc-client init script. # Set this to 1 to enable and to 0 to disable the init script.
