BOINC 6.6.37 released for Windows, Windows x64 and Macintosh

Rom 6 July 2009

- client: include device number in message describing NVIDIA GPU, and call it "NVIDIA GPU" rather than "CUDA device". fixes #879

- client: tweak messages

- client: Fix missing argument in printf statements.

- fix to the above

- client: prepend rather than append to LD_LIBRARY_PATH; on Mac, change DYLIB_LIBRARY_PATH also.

- MGR: Fix a long standing bug where the project list control for the account manager info page and the project info page was not consuming available screen space. Previously we hacked around it by setting an explicit size.

Note: this works on Windows, I don't yet know about Mac and Linux.

- MGR: Fix fatal error which caused crash in Accoount Manager Wizard.

- client: when suspending a GPU job, always remove it from memory, even if it hasn't checkpointed. Otherwise we'll typically run another GPU job right away, and it will bomb out or revert to CPU mode because it can't allocate video RAM

- MGR: Remove project list randomization, sort on name.

- MGR: Previous sorting method wasn't working, use a sort function pointer instead.

- client: record the time results are received. Process non-EDF GPU jobs in this order.

- Tag for 6.6.37 release, all platforms boinc_core_release_6_6_37


Charlie 6 July 2009

- MGR: Fix Mac compile error in addition of DYLIB_LIBRARY_PATH

- Mac Installer: Delete any old PTP branded versions.

The download links don't appear on the regular download page as the test instructions say. Do you have a link for these development versions or a directory where they are located? I'm looking for the latest Vista 64bit version. I think they're up to 6.8.15 now. Thanks.

Look here. But use at your own risk.
