BOINC 6.12.26 is now the recommended client for public use.
The primary focus in this release is a feature called notices. The BOINC client software can now consume RSS feeds to deliver project information to the volunteer at the same time they are checking on task instance status. Volunteers will no longer be required to visit the various project homepages to find out the latest and greatest of what the various projects are doing. For those volunteers who participate in forums additional notices will be given for friend requests and private messages. We believe this will increase the project/volunteer interaction experience. Projects are strongly encouraged to enable notices, details can be found here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProjectNotices Volunteers can change the frequency on how often they are reminded about new notices by adjusting the reminder frequency in the 'Display and network options' dialog in the Advanced GUI. We would like to thank all the volunteers who helped test this release and all 6.11/6.12 releases throughout the development cycle. ----- Rom BOINC Development Team _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
