Another new one to test. This is likely to become the official version next week unless "showstopper" bugs are found.

REMINDER TO ALL ALPHA TESTERS:
It's far easier for us to fix problems if you send message logs with the appropriate flags set. The main flags are:

<cpu_sched_debug>: problems involving the choice of applications to run.
<work_fetch_debug>: problems involving work fetch (which projects are asked for work, and how much).
<rr_simulation>: problems involving jobs being run in high-priority mode.

Use these flags from the cc_config.xml file.

Report any problems you get with it to the Alpha email list. This list needs registration.

The offical change log:

- WINSETUP: Remove the 'SeDebugPrivilege' prev from the list of privs the installer sets for the BOINC client itself.

- MGR: Change the shortcut key for switching to the simple view.

- client: If an administrator has deployed proxy settings at runtime or during a VPN connection allow the client to read the new proxy configuration from the registry.

- MGR: Add View menu with Cmd+Shift+A to Mac Simple GUI for disabled users because Mac manager cannot eliminate menu bar or detect active screen reader. On Windows, manager prevents switch to Simple GUI if screen reader is active.

- WININSTALL: Abort install if Win9x detected

This release of BOINC contains the following enhancements:

1. Support for ATI GPUs

2. Support for detecting proxy configurations within companies

3. Improvements to the CPU/GPU scheduler

It says "Projects with ATI applications: Milkyway@home (coming soon)"

I hope it comes soon enough so that I can get going with some crunching here :p

Funny thing is that project site (MW_GPU) is very fast for supposidly being on the same server at this.

Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

> (MW_GPU) is very fast
But it gets a lot less traffic...

I did a reinstall and swapped to Windows 7 yesterday, also updating my BOINC from 6.10.13 to this new one, tranferring my WUs to the new install. Now my machine has decided that it is only going to run one CPU WU at a time(I run an i7 specified to use 6 core in my prefs). :P GPU is working fine, but it kinda sucks having all those cores idling. gonna let it crunch thru the WUs I had in cache when i swapped OSes and see if it gets its head out of its rar then. ;)

For being on the same server it should lag like MW_cpu does. Right?

You haven't been running Aqua MT work have you? There seems to be a problem with it resuming use of all cores after an Aqua multi-thread wu finishes. Apparently 6.10.13 is better behaved with multi-thread apps, so I am told. I don't run Aqua though.

6.10.18 is now out. Only revised language packs and a couple of minor tweaks supposedly.

That was indeed my problem, once I found the thread on Aqua I ran out my remaining units there and hit NNT on it.
