BOINC 6.4.7 released for Windows (32 / 64)

[Mahray]

We have released a new version of the client software to address these
problems:



1.       A deadlocked graphics application could cause the screensaver
to lock-up.  Most users would reboot their computer to re-gain control
of it.

2.       LibCurl security advisory -

3.       OpenSSL advisory -

Thanks Mahray.  I guess I should do something about this.  I'm currently running 4 different Windows versions, as I tend to keep the one I first install rather than screw something by upgrading.

Yeah.. it's worth the upgrades "wikiwill"...

I have 6.4.5 on all Linux machines and 6.6.11 ( I think - without getting out of my comfy chair...) on the two windows machines here..

the bug "fixes" are worth the upgrade...

It just might be luck on my part, but gone from 6.4.5 to 6.4.6 to 6.4.7 without any probs (and couldn't say that about 6.63 and/or/to 6.6.4) and the latest one may have cured the cc_config probs with XP32bit... at least when crunching GPUGrid.
