The 7.24.1 version of the BOINC client software has been released for Windows, OSX, and Android. Download it here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php.

  • the default value for the "suspend_if_no_recent_input" pref is 0, not 60
  • if sched request fails, show the scheduler URL (that might be the problem)
  • Show alert if idle time to resume computing is greater than idle time to suspend computing
  • ignore old prefs sent by projects or AM
  • avoid overscheduling CPUs in presence of MT jobs
  • Manager: computing prefs dialog bug
  • Manager: Add button in event log to display only alerts (errors)
  • Manager: Improve consistency of control labels and accelerators
  • Manager: Show native names for language options, and only those for which translations are available
