Hi,

today I installed Virtual Box and upgraded BOINC to 7.0.18 from 6.12.43 to test the new stuff. Since then I'm not getting any ATI tasks from Milkyway even through BOINC is requesting lots of them:

Version 7.?.? is still in Beta testing, meaning not all projects have embraced it yet. Yes some people have got it working but not all yet, and with each new version you increase the chances it may not work until the Server side is upgraded too. I think most Projects are waiting until something Official comes out that they can embrace and modify to fit their own parameters.

That I'm aware of. I expected troubles before I made the switch ;) Although I thought they would lie with projects with old server versions like WCG *shrug*
I worked around the problem with Milkyway for myself by creating an appropriate app_info file to resume work fetch with 7.0.18.

I only mentioned it because a public release may not be that far off according to the 7.0.18 announcement on the alpha e-mail-list:

We believe we are really close to a public release, please report test
results to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha as soon as possible.
