Hard to say for sure. But my best guess is that it has to do with the screensaver or graphics generation as it is only in the Windows version. There has been some discussion og issues related to them in the BOINC Developers mailing list. ID: 79604 ·

Maybe the other guys will post a tech note or something when all platforms are updated (or maybe they'll skip that step when they actually implement the latest wave of bug/feature fixes in the next real build). So.. nothing to see here. Move along. - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea. What is hard is to do it." - Jeanne-Claude ID: 79660 ·

This is to make it work with the latest core client, which requires that all app_version files be signed. However, there IS a new SETI@home app around the corner, with some algorithm changes and support for graphics on Mac and Unix. -- David A. ID: 79671 ·
