Several users have posted to the BOINC forums about a serious problem with the BOINC Manager Advanced View Notices tab after updating from OS 10.12.3 to OS 10.12.4. When they click on the tab, it immediately opens a web browser which says it is unable to open the page, and they do not see the notices in the Manager. They all say this was working under OS 10.12.3. The thread is at <https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=11540>.
The Notices code uses wzWidgets wxWebView::SetPage() API to display the notices, and on the Mac wxWebView uses the WebKit Framework. I learned that the update to OS 10.12.4 also updates the Safari web browser to version 10.1, and simultaneously updates the WebKit Framework (on which Safari is based.) My Mac is too old to run OS 10.12, but I was able to update to Safari 10.1 and its corresponding WebKit under OS 10.11.6. However, I have not been able to reproduce this problem. under OS 10.11.6. IS there anyone on this list who could test this under OS 10.12.4 and perhaps try to find a solution? Three of the posters have supplied the list of projects they are running. All three are running LHC@home, einstein@home and pogs, and two are running ATLAS@home.
