BOINC 7.0.31 Public Release (Mac Only)

Charlie Fenton wrote:
Because Apple is expected to release OS 10.8 Mountain Lion within a few days, we have promoted BOINC 7.0.31 to be a public release for the Macintosh only. The main differences from 7.0.28 are changes to the Mac installer to work properly under OS 10.8.

There is no pressing need for users to update to BOINC 7.0.31 if they are already running BOINC 7.0.28, even if they upgrade to OS 10.8. However, if you are running OS 10.8 and are installing BOINC for the first time (or after running the "Uninstall BOINC" utility) you should install BOINC 7.0.31 as older versions of the BOINC installer may not work properly under OS 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Cheers,

If you need to upgrade to 7.0.31, make sure you uninstall your previous version first. I did not and kept getting 'not authorized' error messages after I installed over the old version.
