Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.



Hi, Windows 5.10.7 was released as a proper release but unfortunatly a bug was found, quite a major bug that had not shown up during testing.
This is where 'explorer' would quit for no apparent reason and so giving you just a blank desktop. (brilliant for the dedicated cruncher ;-). So they put it back into the development version.

It was hard to track it down and seemed to happen mainly to people who had gone through some of the development versions before hand where various things, that are now not in the client, where used.

The bug was found and fixed eventually.

But it has not gone back to a release version as they fix cosmetic and a few other bugs noticed since then.

In general though there is nothing wrong with the client, most likely less wrong with it than the older versions now since it's is all just development upon the older client and nothing major has really changed.
The major changes are scheduled for the 6.x.x releases.


Just to add a few links
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php all current latest version in developent or in release
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ in case you need a specific version or need to go back to an older version.

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/query Bugs and if fixed or when there maybe fixed, not sure who can add to the big list.
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/timeline see what the developers are up to and altering.
or
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/log/branches/boinc_core_release_5_10 See what has changed since the last version (5.10.x)

FWIW, anyone can log bugs to Trac with an account.

And you can find the change log compiled by version here.

Did they fix the problem with 5.10.7 that broke all the proxy support?

No idea. I gave up with proxies back in 5.2 - 5.5.x versions I had an uploading bug. Could download but not upload sometimes (well most times ;-)), luckily I could move away from having to use one.

But
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&status=closed&summary=%7Eproxy&order=priority

One of them ?

If not try the latest version, if it doesn't work add a bug report like we've just been told how to :D

Yes one of them thanks. Looks like there is a patch to add to the client to fix it as well.

5.10.13 is out, and it has some nice graphics added to the advanced view. Should you "UPDATE IMMEDIATELY OR IT'S THE END OF THE UNIVERSE"? That's up to you.

You update immediately if a) you want to help in debugging it; or b) its newer features exceed your level of acceptable risk.

Official release or not, there are gremlins always lurking about. The first 5.10(?) release had to be recalled for bad behavior and people were told to go back to 5.8.16.

Even the older official one's have gremlins in them.
My philosphy for people.
Update it and try iy out, if it doesn't work for you just go back to the older one ;-)

I do not think that 5.10.21 is out yet. The boinc site still shows 5.10.20 as the latest.
