A new BOINC release is in beta that fixes false negatives of valid tasks. When will this go into production mode?

Normally when the testing is 85% complete and not too much red and certainly no showstoppers. Alas, 7.6.6 had two showstoppers. :(

So now we're waiting for an official test release of 7.6.7 so we can send our reports back on that. I have released a temp version of it, one without the installer but with blessing from the developers.

And then of course, overnight 7.6.6 is elevated to recommended for Windows and Macintosh.

If there were some show-stopper bugs in v7.6.6, should we hold off installing it then? Will there be a v7.6.7 anytime soon?

Unless you use an app_config.xml file to set the CPU usage of one of several GPUs in your system, it's not a problem. But I did ask Rom if he added the fixes in this 7.6.6; don't think so, but am waiting for an answer.
