Public bug reported:
What's new in 5.8
* The BOINC Manager offers two different interfaces: 'Simple' (small,
graphical, skinnable) and 'Advanced' (maximum information). The Simple GUI
allows local editing of preferences. You can switch back and forth between
Simple and Advanced.
* CPU throttling: you can reduce CPU heat by limiting the fraction of time
that BOINC computes.
* Improved scheduling policies avoid missing job deadlines even on a slow
computer with lots of projects.
* You can limit the amount of memory used by BOINC; this lets you compute
all the time without losing performance.
* Mac OS X version runs applications in an unpriviledged account,
increasing security.
* Snooze button (in the system tray icon) lets you stop computing for one
hour.
We recommend that all BOINC users upgrade to 5.8.
** Affects: boinc (Ubuntu)
