I rebooted my phone 7615058 in the past hour, and noticed Google Play updated BOINC from 7.4.43 to 7.4.51. Looking at BOINC.berkeley.edu says x.41 is "stable" and x.43 is, essentially, a test version... Where could I find info on x.51? Does the BOINC page need an update? (As far as I know I'm not signed up for alpha or beta BOINC testing.) |

Looking at BOINC.berkeley.edu says x.41 is "stable" and x.43 is, essentially, a test version... I would expect the primary release mechanism for BOINC on Android to be via Google Play. Rather than the BOINC website. As the BOINC site states "We recommend that, rather than downloading BOINC from here, you get it from the Google Play Store or the Amazon app store (for Kindle Fire)" You can find the release notes for the posted version of BOINC for Android under the section What's New section for the app in the Play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.berkeley.boinc New to 7.4.51: * Add support for new processor types. * Update support libraries. The "new processor types" likely refers to the added support for aarch64 ARM CPUs. EDIT: Looking in the BOINC download directory versions 7.4.44 to 7.4.52 have been made available for test recently. It looks like BOINC v7.4.51 was built on Friday. Then likely given a test over the weekend before being deployed to the app stores for release Monday.

Wish Amazon and the BOINC developers would coordinate better on the released apps for Amazon Fire tablets. Last version that will work on my Fire HDX is 7.4.14. Any newer release tries to install but fails with an incompatible version error message. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Any newer release tries to install but fails with an incompatible version error message. Is your Kindle Fire a 2nd generation one? The OS for that version of Kindle looks to only go to 4.0.3 & the current release of BOINC requires Android 4.1 or higher.

Any newer release tries to install but fails with an incompatible version error message. My Kindle Fire HDX is the 3rd Generation running Fire OS 4.5.5.1 which is a fork of Android Kit Kat 4.4.3. That should be high enough to run the current BOINC Android release ..... except it isn't. ;(- Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Just added an Intel x86_64 as a cruncher, and so far it can't run 7.4.51 or 7.4.53, but it will run 7.4.43. The other two are running 53 just fine so far. |
