BOINC 6.6.12 released for Windows, Windows x64 and Mac This is a development version of BOINC.
Unofficial Change Log for 6.6.12:
- Mac screensaver: fix build break.
- WINSCR: Remove unneeded header files
- SCR: Shuffle headers around so that it'll build on both Windows and Mac without having to put in duplicate entries.
- fix possible crash on state file parse failures
- client: if you put <host_venue> in global_prefs_override.xml, it should select the venue from the network prefs. Now it does.
- API: file descriptor leak in obscure case. fixes #103
- client: make timeout values into #defines
- Update BOINC Manager template from latest sources
- Update permissions files so people can work on localizing 6.6 again
- client: fix bugs in "abort_jobs_on_exit" feature:
* clear project backoffs when start abort sequence
* don't back off projects if in abort sequence
- boinccmd: fix bug in --set_proxy_settings command (it wasn't setting the "use_XXX" flags). Fixes #776
- client: you can now include a <proxy_info> element in your cc_config.xml options.
TODO: the whole proxy info thing needs an overhaul:
- no separate "use_XXX" flags; non-empty http_server_name implies using HTTP proxy, etc.
- merge PROXY_INFO and GR_PROXY_INFO classes
- use XML_PARSER for parsing
- no PROXY_INFO element in HTTP_OP; just use gstate.proxy_info
- client: tag messages with project where possible; fixes #852
- client: show fetch share rather than run share in wfd message
- client: abort jobs that are unstarted and past deadline
- client: abort runaway jobs based on elapsed time instead of CPU time.

Specifically, abort jobs for which elapsed time > WU.rsc_fpops_bound / app_version.flops
This policy works for
1) GPU jobs (which may use little CPU time)
2) jobs that run but because of bugs use little CPU time (e.g., because they're sleeping) whereas the old policy didn't.

- client: skip the above elapsed-time check for non-CPU-intensive jobs
- client: fix bug where if a GPU job is running, and a 2nd GPU job with an earlier deadline arrives, neither job is executed ever. Reorganized things so that scheduling of GPU jobs is done independently of CPU jobs.
The policy for GPU jobs:
* always EDF
* jobs are always removed from memory, regardless of checkpoint (GPU memory is not paged, so it's bad to leave an idle app in memory)
- MGR: Remove the ability to display graphics on a remote computer, or from a remote computer on *nix machines using v5 graphics. fixes #674
- client: shuffle the startup code to avoid showing wrong prefs info on first-time startup.
- client: don't do an RPC until we've done CPU benchmarks. We need the benchmark values to fill in app_version.flops
- screensaver: show correct info if CPU throttling; show correct window title; show "no projects" message.
- boinccmd: make --get_messages output more readable
- screensaver: remove error codes & messages handled by new default gfx app, add new error codes; better logic when coordinator window covered on Mac
- manager: fix roundoff error in Advanced Prefs; fixes #613
- MGR: Make CTRL-SHIFT-A the accelerator in the simple GUI that switches back to the advanced view. refs #147
- client: fix bug that could cause scheduler RPC to ask for work inappropriately, and tell user that it wasn't asking for work. Here's what was going on:

There are two different structures with work request fields (req_secs, req_instances, estimated_delay):
COPROC_CUDA *coproc_cuda and RSC_WORK_FETCH cuda_work_fetch.
WORK_FETCH::choose_project() copied from cuda_work_fetch to coproc_cuda, but only if a project was selected.
WORK_FETCH::clear_request() clears cuda_work_fetch but not coproc_cuda.

Scenario:
* a scheduler op is made to project A requesting X>0 secs of CUDA
* later, a scheduler op is made to project B for reason other than work fetch (e.g., user request)
* choose_project() doesn't choose anything, so the value of coproc_cuda->req_secs remains X
* clear_request() is called but that doesn't change *coproc_cuda

Solution: work-fetch code no longer knows about internals of COPROC_CUDA and is not responsible for settings its request fields. The copying of request fields from RSC_WORK_FETCH to COPROC is done at a higher level, in CLIENT_STATE::make_scheduler_request()

Additional bug fix: estimated_delay wasn't being cleared in some cases.
- client: RR sim FLOPS estimate for GPU jobs should reflect fraction of time BOINC is running.
- manager and GUI RPC: always show resource debt and backoff even if zero; also show backoff interval
- Manager: message tweak
- Manager: scheduling params are not defined for non-CPU-intensive projects; don't show them.
- manager message fix
- Update to OpenSSL 0.9.8i for Win32 and Win64
- Update to LibCurl 7.19.3 for Win32 and Win64
- client: Revise Apple idle time detection for compatibility with OS 10.6
- Mac: Update libCurl to 7.19.4
- WINSCR: fix a bug.
- Mac screensaver: logic to stop Data Management thread even if hung on an RPC.
- client: fix message: "idle instance" => "starved"
- manager: when filtering messages by project, show messages not tagged with a project (fixes #852)
- web: show X-project stats links as icons
- fix possible crash on state file parse failures
- client: change garbage-collect logic.
old: reference-count files involved in a PERS_FILE_XFER
new: if a PERS_FILE_XFER refers to an unreferenced file, delete it (and the associated FILE_XFER and HTTP_OP if present). May fix #366

Other (Unix) source code fixes:
# Added checks for net/*.h, arpa/*.h, netinet/*.h and code to figure out which of those files to include
# Modified MAC address check to work on some non-Linux unixes.(mac_address.cpp)
# Added suggested change to "already attached to project" checking.(ProjectInfoPage?.cpp)
# changed includes of standard c header files to their c++ equivalents (i.e. replaced <stdio.h> with <cstdio>) for namespace protection.
# replaced "using namespace std;" with more explicit "using std::function" in several files.
# Fixed bug in checking whether the os is OS/2 and added conditional OS_OS2 to the build environment. (boinc_platform.m4,configure.ac)
# Changed build environment to not use -nostandardlibs unless we are using G++ and static linkage is specified. (configure.ac)
# Added makefiles and package building files for solaris CSW package manager.
# Fixed bug with attempting to find login name using logname. (configure.ac)
# Added ifdef HAVE_* protection around some include files commonly found in sys.
# Added support for unified binary for x86_64/i686-pc-solaris. (cs_platforms.cpp)
# generate_host_cpid() now uses MAC address on non-linux unix. (hostinfo_network.cpp)
# Macro BOINC_SET_COMPILE_FLAGS now doesn't check gcc only flags on non-gcc compilers. (boinc_set_compile_flags.m4)
# Library compiles no longer depend upon the library extension or require the library to be prefixed with lib.
# More fixes for fcgi builds.
# Added declaration of "struct ether_addr" and ether_ntoa(). Have not yet implemented ether_ntoa() for machines that don't have it, or where it is buggy. (unix_util.h)
# Added FCGI::perror() which calls FCGI_perror(). (boinc_fcgi.{h,cpp})
# Fixed library Makefiles so that all required headers get installed.
