Just a note to say that the SETI@home software has been updated to version 1.05. Get it here: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/

This is what's new:


General Updates:
<ul>[*]Hardware/server upgrades: We are now able to generate and serve higher
volumes of work units.[*]SETI@home now supports proxies on ports other than 80. [*]Memory leaks (which were harmless) have been diagnosed and cleaned up.[*]The progress bar now reaches exactly 100% when done with a work unit.[*]Both Windows and Mac now support 640x480 resolution, BUT the graphics will
run off the sides of the screen.[*]New telescope icon.[*]Nicer error messages for network problems.[/list]
Windows Updates:
<ul>[*]The CPU time in version 1.05 won't report negative results (this was
happening when people changed the date/time in the windows control panel
while SETI@home was running).[*]The "Recorded on" date is now correctly reporting based on GMT
and not local time - when updating from an old version to 1.05 you may
notice the current work unit's time jump a few hours - this bug was only
present in the display and not the science.[*]Selecting "exit" on the desktop SETI@home window no longer kills the
client - to kill the client you must right-click on the icon in the
system tray on select "exit."[*]Default runtime priorities have been adjusted.[*]New installs do not reset previous blanking/minutes setting.[*]Analysis now gets turned off if disk defragmenter process is on.[/list]
Mac Updates:
<ul>[*]SETI@home is now completely compatible with FreePPP.[*]The Apple Menu now works properly.[*]Screensaver activates properly even if user has collapsed SETI@home main
window with WindowShade feature.[*]Improved support for systems with multiple graphics cards/monitors.[*]Graphics code has been optimized - 32-bit color mode now runs faster, as does screen blanking mode.[*]Client now waits only 15 minutes to retry network errors (but still waits 60 minutes for server errors).[*]Fixed many small defects. For more details, see the release notes.[/list]
