No issues here either. Mind you, every time I put ncpus to 5, once I start running boinc it goes back to 4.....I know I'm a newbie here, but I'm scratching me head on that one (yes, yes I stop boinc manager and stop the service before I edit client_state.xml).

I have seen some cosmetic bug fixes with 6.3.11 (date format, etc).

ok, now that it has been running for a while, I see that progress indicator on the gpu grid hasn't changed, while other projects are. so I set the ncps to 4, and then restarted BOINC. Thats when it decided to run 20 work units at once!. Stopped BOINC and then reset the npus back to 5, and it no longer ran 20, but instead just 5. Now, however, it is running Ramsey in high priority, but didn't stop running the other projects. Strange. I am thinking of going back to 6.3.10...

I was hoping the developers added a function to benchmark the GPU!

So far no difference in the number of tasks as everyone mentioned in this thread.

For me, 6.3.11 have some improvements!

I can use Boincview normally, and the statistics tab works normally.
Maybe i can see an improvement in how long running the WU,but i will see this tomorrow.

This version have resolve minors bugs, but we can't not use the dedicated core for the GPU to another task.

Waiting for the next release!

I lost 2 Complete Directories even though I had Backups for them, going to 6.3.11 & back to 6.3.10 neither 1 would recognize I had Work in the Directories even using the Backups so I had to start from scratch again on those 2 Box's ...

I later found what happened. for some reason, when I uninstalled v11, it moved all the files data directory to the old boinc folder I used when I was running 5.10.45.... but when I reinstalled 10, it knew where it had been before and just created the data directory as though it was a fresh install. Really messed up. At least I figured out how to get all my work back and am no running on v10 again.

Usually, before suggesting a new release of BOINC, we test it over here.
There are plenty of things that can go wrong and some releases might even not work at all. If you want to be safe, stick to the BOINC version number that is on our home page, for now, I am afraid it is 6.3.10.

should have tested 6.3.12. wow that version was a masterpiece of programming! Cuda runs fine, but no other tasks are startet - hilarious...

so my advice to everyone is do not install 6.3.11 or 6.3.12 use 6.3.10 instead

I am a software developer and 6.3.12 would not have been even suitable for a daily build for our internal SVN... Who did the QA on that one?
