Hi everybody,

Sorry for having everything so quiet but we've been working on getting everyone up to speed and a new version of the application. Right now it's looking like you can expect v1.14 on wednesday. We're just working on getting the new windows binaries compiled (with code that should help us track down why it's giving that popup error). Additionally, I think we fixed the memory leak -- so let us know if you're still getting any of that. So hopefully we'll be able to put the new binaries on the server without too many problems :)

On another note, we've found what we think might be a problem in how our searches are running (two of the parameters might be dependent) so we're trying a few new things on the server end to see whats going on with this. The newer searches are using some intentionally difficult data to help us find the root of some of the problems we've been having -- so thats what you're crunching on right now. The genetic search seems to have some problems with this, and i'm going to start up some particle swarm searches to see if they do a little better with the problem. Thanks again for all your crunching time!
