Windows app updated to 5.26
After a few weeks of testing, I decided to update the Windows application to the latest development version. V5.26 fixes all bugs related to progress indicator and checkpoint reporting, as well as many other minor glitches. If it doesn't work for some reason on your system, please let me know. 5.26 for Linux is coming soon. 1 Sep 2010 19:58:52 UTC · Comment

Server down
The server is down since yesterday due to very bad weather conditions and local flood. Around 17:30 local time the water level was extremely high, no one ever has seen it higher or even close. As a result there are random and unexpected power outages, so I'll keep the server down for a while to prevent database damage. 31 May 2010 9:52:10 UTC · Comment

Spam attack and profile credits requirement
Due to the large amount of spammers creating profiles with stupid ads, I had to enable server's built-in spam protection - right now it requires the user to have certain minimum of credits to create profile, I've set it to 100. 19 Apr 2010 12:58:58 UTC · Comment

Server downtime
During this weekend the server will be taken down for O/S upgrade. The old distro (Debian 4) will be replaced by Debian 5 amd64, since the older version has a limited support and probably slows down the hardware a bit. It's hard to estimate how long the upgrade process will take, but I'd say that 8-12 hours minimum, because I have to do a complete backup first, so in the worst case I'll be able to rollback everything to the previous state. 9 Mar 2010 10:25:45 UTC · Comment

Temporarily out of work
The server is out of work, for two reasons: the M4 server is out of work, because the awgly keyspace is finished. Also, I was going to run one of the other known unbroken messages while waiting for Stefan Krah to update the M4 server, but unfortunately during the last few hours one of the BOINC server's hard drives failed. Luckily nothing seems to be damaged except one table which contains unimportant log data, but until I'll fully diagnose and fix the problem, I'm taking all the daemons offline. It's also possible that later today I'll shutdown the server to replace the drive. 16 Nov 2009 0:00:00 UTC · Comment

Short downtime
Today (11 December) around 1pm GMT+2 the server will be shut down for a short period of time (around 1~2 hours), because one of the databases has to be moved to new hard drive. 11 Dec 2008 0:00:00 UTC · Comment

Hardware replacement
I'm going to shutdown one of the servers to replace faulty network card. The BOINC server will stay online, however the work generator will be stopped so it's possible that the server will run out of work. 4 Nov 2008 0:00:00 UTC · Comment

Private messages email notifications
There has been a discussion about email notifications, David Anderson stated that it should default to off. I have tweaked the database, it's already set to off by default for all new accounts.

Experimental linux app
Few days ago I put experimental linux app online. It should work on most modern linux distributions. It uses enigma executable compiled with -march=pentium3, (gcc 3.2), so it may not work on older CPUs, I haven't checked that yet. If you want to try it out, please remember, that you have to chmod +x enigma_0.76_i686-pc-linux-gnu manually (it's inside project's dir) after you attach to project. For some reason, BOINC does not do that automatically. EDIT: I think it's fixed now. 18 Sep 2007 0:00:00 UTC · Comment

Enigma@Home changelog
-Server software upgraded to 14087:

I added a "user search" feature (html/user/user_search.php). This is of critical importance for teams - e.g., it lets Team Ireland easily see what users from Ireland have joined your project in the last few days. This is intended to be linked from your front page. (see, e.g. the SETI@home home page). I recommend that all projects upgrade to this code, and add a link from your home page.
