BoincTasks Js 2.7.0 on Mac ?

[JeromeC]

Hello Fred and Happy New Year !

I see there is a new 2.7.0 version published (today ??) with lots of interesting evolutions and fixes in the change log, is there a Mac version on its way ?

Thanks again for all your hard work !

Yep that's what I'm working on right now, just released 2.7.1 for the Mac.

Cool

Task graph is cool but I have a "Initialising" project in the list ? (I don't have it in the project list for the rest of the tool)



Project list by itself seems to have reduced a lot in the main window : you have removed like "unused" projects or something ?

Short-time CPU percentage check : what is the difference with the previous behaviour ?

By setting this new option on, I noticed in the settings that the "deadline in days" option ("afficher la date limite en jours") is actually inverted : I have to uncheck it to have days, and check it to have dates. But maybe this has always been like this.

It looks to me the tool is more reactive, but maybe I'm dreaming

Thanks for the hard work !

This might happen when you open the graph before it read the state.
Try closing the window and open it again.

The short-time CPU usage is only visible on tasks that are running. The percentage is now calculated over five cycles instead of the entire lifetime of the task, so it more accurately reflects the current usage.
It actually shows xx % instead of the normal xx%.

I only moved the deadline item to a different location, but it still works the same as before.

The framework has changed to a more recent version, which may account for its increased responsiveness.
I solved a bug that caused it to not respond at all.

I always have that "initialising" project whatever I do, it only appears in that new graph, even if I restart BTJs. And I actually cannot relate to any project, though it seems the logic to select projects is not the same as in the general statistics graph (where the project list is much longer). But it's only a small issue of course, I just wanted to inform. But there is a question about the logic you are using to select the project list.

Regarding the deadline, so you confirm it is working "inverted" and you have to actually untick when you would want to tick the checkbox to have the expected behaviour ? Because this is what is happening for me.

Weird, you do not have "Initialising" in the statistics graph?
But do you see Initialising in the History tab.
The missing projects, do they have any tasks in the Tasks tab or History tab.

The deadline shows as 1d,.... unchecked.
And as the full day Jan 09, 2026, 06:43:02 PM while checked.
