Re: [boinc_dev] 7.10 client release

[Charlie Fenton]

As I wrote earlier, I'm working on screensaver fixes for compatibility with Mac 
OS 10.13 High Sierra. But it will be a few more days or a week before that is 
ready for testing, so don't hold off on 7.10 for that. I'll merge it into both 
master and the branch after the pull request is approved.

I likely will also want to merge these into a hot-fix version 7.8.3 for Mac 
only with the screensaver changes before 7.10 is ready for public release, 
since OS 10.13 is set for public release on September 25.

At the same time, I will be submitting a tech support request tonight with 
Apple asking if there is a better way to fix the problem than the one I have 
been working on. Ideal of course would be a fix that does not require any 
changes to the project graphics apps, but I'm not too hopeful for that. 

(As I wrote before, I expect the fix I am currently working on to only require 
the projects to rebuild their existing graphics apps with the new libraries 
that I will supply; no changes to the project's code should be needed. It will 
of course also involve changes to the BOINC screensaver coordinator included 
with the BOINC Mac installer.)

Cheers,
--Charlie

[boinc_dev] 7.10 client release

[David Anderson]

Master has a number of improvements relative to 7.8.2,
so I'd like to make a release branch and start testing soon.

Is there any work in progress that I should wait for?

Thanks -- David

[boinc_dev] 7.8.2 client crashes immediately on Mac OS 10.12

[Jord van der Elst]

As per this thread: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=11853

"I installed 7.8.2 last night; when I checked in the morning, BOINC Manager
complained that it couldn't connect to a client.
After some digging, I found that the client is crashing pretty much
immediately, with the following stack trace on thread 0:

Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x7fff90e0fd42 __pthread_kill + 10
1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x7fff90efd457 pthread_kill + 90

9 boinc 0x00010002dad5 0x1 + 187093
10 boinc 0x00011034 0x1 + 4148"

It got worse for this user, as:

"I uninstalled 7.8.2 and re-installed 7.6.34; I am still seeing the same
crash (even after a reboot). 7.6.34 was working immediately before I
installed 7.8.2 (though I don't know when the last time I started it up
was; probably at least a couple of weeks).

I'm digging around through backups to see if there is any library that
might have changed."
