BOINC 5.8.15 out
(United States) Modified By paul on 2/26/2007 4:05:38 PM)

For Windows- http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php

Details are sketchy, as soon as someone knows what bugs this fixes, let us know.

edit- seems like this is another round of bug fixes, the following is quoted by Alinator from the Berkeley forum-

LOL, it might be easier to ask which ones haven't been fixed yet.

Let's see, there were installer issues, screensaver display when using CPU throttling issues, application DNS caching issues, spurious log message issues, task control issues with near simultaneous science app exits with multiple cores, RDCF miscalculation issues. I'm sure I'm leaving a few out, since I personally didn't experience every one I read about.

Suffice to say 15 is the first one that really should have been called a recommended version (and even the jury is still out on that).

Also, Keith Tegg reports-

5.8.15 fixes "Task ... exited with zero status but no 'finished' file" for me.

First version since 5.8.11 that does. I've been living with this bug on .11 .12 and .14 for the last few weeks.

I don't know what else, but my benchmarks went up immediately, and I haven't started tweaking and oc-ing:

I'll have to get that since my Linux box is fighting to keep BOINC running.

That problem wasn't caused by Boinc, it was caused by Chickens SETI app. http://www.tswb.org/Forums/tabid/173/forumid/5/threadid/7591/scope/posts/Default.aspx

I'm running so good that I'm afraid to change anything right now. I'm back to posting credits like I use to. I'm going to stay with 5.8.11 for now.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues

Two different problems. 5.8.15 does fix the extra "no finished file" messages, the (semi-)legit messages still come through.

I would also say if you are running at least 5.8.11 there is no pressing reason to upgrade at this time.
