Description

Posted by: thegasgiant Date: 4:46 AM 04-12-2005 Prior to BOINC V4.30, BOINC manager used to show, down the bottom left corner) the version number of the host it was connected to, i.e. Connected to localhost(4.27), but now it only says Connected to localhost. The version number in this note was useful to ensure that the manager had connected successfully to a host.

Posted by: thegasgiant Date: 5:52 AM 04-12-2005 Doh..did I say bottom left? I meant bottom right corner.

Posted by: johnk Date: 8:41 AM 04-12-2005 The version number was removed on purpose, allthough I also miss it. The problem here is that when connected to a remote host it flashes the proper host name and then returns to localhost.

Posted by: scott Date: 4:04 PM 04-12-2005 If the version number was removed from the display, it needs to be added in elsewhere. There is no other way to determine what version of boinc a remote client is running, short of logging in to it. For those of us with lots of boinc clients, this is a critical feature.

There is a way to see the version number of the client connected. It's on the first line on the messages.

However, I surely agree it is much better to have the version number somewhere else more visible, like the statusbar.

Should we just create a seperate field on the status bar to display the remotely connected client version?

OK to append "(version)" to host name

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [12541]) - fixes #5: Include the version number of the client next to it's

name, so people can see if they need to upgrade a remote client.

  • fixes #149: Change the parsing function for the

CBOINCGridCellProgressRenderer so that we don't have to update the docs or screenshots. Display the progress bar as a resource share fraction.
