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.

The rc5des443-linux-x86-elf-mt-glibc2.tar.gz was removed due to
problems with glibc2.1 systems. Sorry for any problems it may have
caused. We are working to correct the problem.

Thanks

The following clients have been updated:

rc5des443-freebsd4-x86-elf-mt.tar.gz
rc5des443-linux-sparc-elf-mt-glibc2.tar.gz
rc5des443-linux-x86-aout-nomt-libc4.tar.gz
rc5des443-linux-x86-elf-mt-glibc2.tar.gz
rc5des443-linux-x86-elf-mt-libc5.tar.gz
rc5des443-linux-x86-elf-nomt-libc5.tar.gz
rc5des443-netbsd13-x86.tar.gz
rc5des443-netbsd-sparc.tar.gz
rc5des443-win32-alpha-cli.zip
rc5des443-win32-alpha-gui.zip

IMPORTANT!

Starting with v2.7110 clients distributed.net clients now support
block sizes up to 2^33 – because of this buffers CANNOT be shared with
older version clients. Client version 2.7111 and up require a Personal
Proxy of at least build 306 because of the big-block changes.

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.
