Look in your logs. You probably didn't ask for any.

Here's a repost of Ageless's post in the BOINC 7 Change Log 6.13 and news thread:

EXTRA WARNING

The new BOINC 6.13 range is using completely new, from the ground up written code for many of its parts. It is not to be used if you are not an alpha tester. It is not to be used on all of your machines, just on one. When it doesn't work, report your problems to the developers and return to the latest 6.12.recommended.

At this time we're specifically testing whether or not the new CPU/GPU scheduling code works without using debt, and if projects will fetch work.

This is not a version that you install and walk away from, it needs constant checking, including the use of all the correct client configuration flags. Make sure your log files are of sufficient size so you can log through the night.

Minimum required flags to report with are <cpu_sched_debug>, <rr_simulation>, <sched_op_debug>, <work_fetch_debug>

May I add to that, please.

Do not run experimental versions of BOINC on live projects, unless you also subscribe to the associated boinc_alpha mailing list, and have time to read and act upon any recall or hotfix notices for builds which turn out to be buggy.

The recent alerts on this message board relating to wingmates receiving negative credit, were tracked down to users running the 6 July copy of BOINC v6.13.0, without applying the hotfixes released and notified via the above list on 7 July.

I'd like to report that I have been Beta testing 6.10.58 for some time now, and the devs have done a wonderful job with it......

LoL, would that be official 6.10.58 ? or my modified 6.10.58 with per applications DCFs ?
