New Features and Bugfixes in Popular Power 0.3.1
Macintosh release
Popular Power is now available for Macintosh computers.
Windows background operation
Popular Power can now run continuously in the background on Windows,
not just as a screensaver. Background mode allows you to contribute
more time to Popular Power by using more of your idle CPU.
New screen saver graphics
We've changed the screen saver graphics to something new and snazzy.
Expect to see more screen saver capabilities in upcoming versions!
Improved status messages
The Popular Power status messages have been improved. The client now
displays the time the last task was taken, and has much more detailed
error messages.
Improved Windows installer
The upgrade procedure for Popular Power on Windows has been improved,
making it simpler and more reliable.
Improved SMP support
The Windows version now supports SMP; if you have multiple CPUs in
your computer, Popular Power will now use all of them (at low
priority). Linux and Windows SMP now operates more efficiently.
GNOME applet on Linux
GNOME users can run popularpower-gnome to watch the behavior of their
Popular Power clients. The software, including source, is available on
our download page.
Bug fixes
All known bugs in Popular Power 0.2.2 have been fixed. This includes
the NT4 Stats URL, Upgrade problems, and Linux statsURL script.
