staff blogs

distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

Ok lots of you have been asking about the new features in the
2.7109.440 clients. Here are the major changes:

– Added FIFO buffers
– Added Big Block support. Current Limit 2^33 block sizes.
Big blocks are only supported with 306+ proxies.
– Added infrastructure for OGR and CSS
– Added Remote buffer support
– Improved client speed in some cases

Users upgrading to 440 series will need to upgrade all clients at one
time if they are in a buffer sharing situation.

Hope this helps.
