Hi Art (and everyone else)
The outgoing chair of BOINC's PMC (David Anderson), and the incoming chair
(Kevin Reed) have jointly asked me to act as Release Manager for the next
public release of BOINC. That will be version 7.10.x, and will be released for
Windows, Mac OS X and Linux - Android will be a different kettle of fish
entirely. I'm a Windows specialist, so I'll be relying on the good offices of
Charlie Fenton, Laurence Field, and Gianfranco Costamagna to help me out. Plus
all you good developers and testers out there, of course.
You've slightly bounced me into a premature announcement, but it was coming
anyway - no problem with that. We've been doing some preparatory testing
already, and one or two things came to light just yesterday: we're having
another conference call tomorrow night, and the details should be sorted out
then.
Any files you see in http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ will be private drops being
tested as part of this preliminary process. Please be careful to note the
datestamp as well as the version number: v7.9.0 came into use shortly after the
public release of v7.8.3, and can cover a significant variation in features. By
all means start trying to tear any recent build to shreds, but the formal
process won't start for a day or two: I think we're waiting to get the updated
translations (thanks, Christian) merged into the master branch so that they can
be reviewed at the same time.
Further details of the process and timetable will be released after our meeting
tomorrow.
I hope that makes it clearer.

Subject: [boinc_dev] Status of BOINC Ver 7.9.0 for Windows 64-bit
Hi all,
What is the status of BOINC 7.9.0 for Windows 64-bit? It is
available on the http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ download site, but not
yet listed as "ready for development testing" on the BOINC public
download site.
1. Should any users be testing this release at this time since
it's "available" to those who are aware of the alternative site?
2. Also is there a preliminary list of changes available from 7.8.3
for the 7.9.0 version?
Art Masson
