1) Message boards : News : Database upgrade Message 8524 Posted 7 Feb 2025 by Nils Høimyr	Thanks! It is the php web server that dies. Caused by a test server release upgrade on this node. Looks like several of the php-generated pages are broken. We are investigating.
2) Message boards : News : Database upgrade Message 8520 Posted 5 Feb 2025 by Nils Høimyr	We have upgraded the MySQL database for LHC@home dev. If there should be any unexpected errors, please feel free to report,
3) Message boards : News : Database upgrade Message 8153 Posted 30 Aug 2023 by Nils Høimyr	The MySQL database for LHC@home-dev has been upgraded to MySQL8. Normally this should not affect any of the functionality of the BOINC applications.
4) Message boards : News : Server Release 1.4.0 Message 7903 Posted 2 Dec 2022 by Nils Høimyr	And now we are at 1.4.1.
5) Message boards : News : Server upgrade Message 7014 Posted 14 Apr 2020 by Nils Høimyr	The LHC@home dev server has been upgraded to server release 1.2.1. (in practice it was running this code already, but now the project has undergone the usual server upgrade process.)
6) Message boards : News : Updated server code Message 6600 Posted 6 Sep 2019 by Nils Høimyr	We have updated the lhcathome-dev server code to the latest BOINC server release, 1.1. Please let us know if you should spot any new bug or unexpected behaviour.
7) Message boards : News : Dev server updated Message 5713 Posted 10 Dec 2018 by Nils Høimyr	We updated again to the BOINC server release 1.0.3. Please let us know if you spot any new issues. Thanks and happy crunching!
8) Message boards : News : Dev server updated Message 5697 Posted 30 Nov 2018 by Nils Høimyr	Sorry, we had a temporary fix that was overwritten by our automated configuration. Now the fix has been defined in the proper place.
9) Message boards : News : Dev server updated Message 5653 Posted 16 Nov 2018 by Nils Høimyr	However, there are other GDPR features in the code that we have enabled in our configuration, but at least for me, it does not work as expected, the login and registration screens are like before. Is that the use of 'I'm not a robot' using Captcha ( completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart). I hate captcha's. No, the expected features are on user consent etc. The Captcha stuff is something we have on our production project to avoid spammers.
10) Message boards : News : Dev server updated Message 5649 Posted 15 Nov 2018 by Nils Høimyr	Thanks for the feedback. I did a test account creation and deletion, it worked fine for me. The server sent a link to the email address of my test account that I had to validate before deleting the account. However, there are other GDPR features in the code that we have enabled in our configuration, but at least for me, it does not work as expected, the login and registration screens are like before.
11) Message boards : News : Dev server updated Message 5637 Posted 14 Nov 2018 by Nils Høimyr	We have updated our development server to the latest BOINC server release. Please let us know if you spot any issues. The server may go down for a while if we need iterations on this.
12) Message boards : Sixtrack Application : 2nd Returned Result is Always Invalid Message 5431 Posted 1 Jun 2018 by Nils Høimyr	The Sixtrack assimilator is deliberately not started on the DEV project, as we are testing the HTCondor BOINC gateway here, that should take care of bringing back the results.
13) Message boards : News : ATLAS load tests Message 5382 Posted 13 Mar 2018 by Nils Høimyr	Test gone well so far. Thanks to you all! We'll have a temporary stop in the supply of tasks to modify the storage back-end.
14) Message boards : News : ATLAS load tests Message 5370 Posted 1 Mar 2018 by Nils Høimyr	@MAGIC: The only reason why we direct our temporarily idle hypervisors (Agile Boincers) here is to be able to load-test our new storage back-end with ATLAS load before upgrading our production environment. Under normal circumstances, cluster backfill at CERN is done outside BOINC, as such nodes can handle data-intensive analysis and other work than simulations. Your contributions and notably alpha and beta testing are very much appreciated, and help us to reach more volunteers on a wider range of OS. I suggest to continue the discussion on Windows and ATLAS under the "ATLAS application" forum.
15) Message boards : News : ATLAS load tests Message 5362 Posted 28 Feb 2018 by Nils Høimyr	These in-house cores are only available temporarily when there is no analysis jobs going on. So we are more than happy for contributions from all of you! The more capacity we can get, the better :-) Now we recommend to keep connected to the regular LHC@home, as this dev project can be erratic.
16) Message boards : News : ATLAS load tests Message 5360 Posted 27 Feb 2018 by Nils Høimyr	For information: We have increased limits pr. host on the dev project as part of a campaign to test our new storage backend. Expect most new ATLAS tasks to be pulled by our local cluster hosts and the LCG cluster in Bejing. But there are tasks for other applications too for those interested. There might be interruptions too, as this is our development and testbed. :-)
17) Message boards : News : LHCathome- dev server interruptions Message 5345 Posted 23 Jan 2018 by Nils Høimyr	There will be some interruptions on the dev project this week while we test a new BOINC version and migrate to another host.
18) Message boards : News : New logo for LHC@home? Message 5253 Posted 23 Nov 2017 by Nils Høimyr	Thanks a lot to all of you for voting! We have passed the results back to our graphics team, who propose an updated version of the most popular of these proposals. Stay tuned for the final version! :-)
19) Message boards : News : New logo for LHC@home? Message 5246 Posted 13 Nov 2017 by Nils Høimyr	We are planning to update our web presence for LHC@home and in this context we got a couple of proposals for a new LHC@home logo from our graphics team. Continue to use the current logo: in extended and compact form. Alternative new logo 1: Alternative new logo 2: Please vote your preference among the logos on this Doodle poll page. Please note that this is work in progress, and that these images may be adjusted. Also if you have other proposals of your own, please do not hesitate to comment and display/link alternatives here in the forum. :-) Many thanks in advance for your help and feedback! ..The LHC@home team
20) Message boards : News : Development project "face lift" Message 5207 Posted 18 Oct 2017 by Nils Høimyr	To make the issue of VM apps clearer, we have updated the "Terms of use" for this project, and the link on the front page.
