Changes from 5.10 (Windows)
Separate data directory
5.10 and older versions of BOINC stored data and program files in the same place - typically C:\Program Files\BOINC. This caused security problems. 6.2 stores data files in a separate directory. When 6.2 is installed on top of an older version, it "migrates" the data files from the old to the new directory.
When BOINC starts
If "Protected application execution" is checked, BOINC will run as a service; it will start when the system boots, and run even if no user is logged in.
If it is not checked, BOINC will start when any user logs in (public mode) or when the the installing user logs in (private mode).
Shutting down BOINC
When the "Protected application execution" option is selected, BOINC Manager no longer shuts down BOINC when you exit BOINC Manager. To shut down BOINC, go to the Advanced menu and select "Shut down connected client...". |
