Updated apps
Yesterday I released new app versions for Linux and Windows.
On Windows, very little was changed, mostly minor fixes around BOINC API code and checkpointing/progress calculations.
Linux version fixes all known/reported wrapper bugs (and hopefully didn't introduce new).

There is also a new platform supported by the server - armv5tel, however the platform-id returned by the client varies on those machines, so if the server says the platform is not supported, you need to submit the platform name (as returned by core client), preferably after veryfiying that the app works.

P.S. I'm looking for someone to build the updated wrapper for Mac.

Server issues
On 24 Dec one of the server's hard drives failed, as a result I had to set up a fresh system so I decided to switch to new OS version as well as the latest BOINC trunk, since the amount of work to do didn't change by much.
It took almost 2 days to get most of the things working again, but there are still some things broken/not working at all. Please report all anomalies, I'm trying to get rid of all bugs/glitches but it will definitely take some time, as the list is still long.

Enigma badges
Few months ago one of the participants proposed a set of graphical badges for the project, since then a couple of designs (which can be viewed here: http://www.boincatpoland.org/smf/enigmahome-78/propozycje-odznak-dla-enigmahome/) were made by BOINC@Poland members.
I'm going to implement the badges before the end of this year (or early 2012 in the worst case), next week I'll make a poll which will decide which one of the sets will be used, so there is still some time if anyone else would like to submit another set of icons.

Also I'd be glad to hear opinions on the amount of credits needed for badges, considering the fact that (at least for now) it's a project with with just one app.

Database problems
Yesterday the server crashed during strong thunderstorm, as a result one of the tables ("workunit") was seriously damaged. I had to restore both "workunit" and "result" tables from backup, so unfortunately some of the workunits/results were lost.

Server down - power issues
Today morning the server went down unexpectedly most probably due to power failure. A bit later it was automatically restarted in disabled mode because at least one of the database tables needs to be repaired.
The server will be up again today, however it has to wait a couple of hours because I do not have access at this moment. 13 May 2011 | 9:40:58 UTC · Comment
