2.4 Apps with graphics?

[KWSN Holy HndGrena]

Will there be 2.4 Apps with graphics available at any time in the future?

I don't run the graphics continuously, but an occasional check on the current status is welcome...

I would also like the answer to this question because 2.2B was my first go at an optimized app and I don't know which files to remove if any. But I really want to upgrade.
Thanks in advance.

Simon has said elsewhere that he'll make graphic apps when he has time. I believe his first priority is getting Vista comapatible 32 bit builds.

The safest way to do an upgrade to 2.4 is exactly the procedure in the Instructions.txt from the downoad. When you copy in the files from "Files to install" it will replace the old app_info.xml with the new, confirm if the OS asks. You'll temporarily have both sets of files, BOINC will remove the 2.2B application when it no longer needs it (probably at the restart).

Thanks again,

I just wanted to add my name to the list of those still patiently waiting for what I affectionately call "Chicken with Spice" aka:  2.4 with Graphics.

I understand that the Vista issue may have more weight behind/on it; however, I was on the 2.2B with Graphics until MB 5.27 hit SETI Main...  Now I'm on stock MB 5.27; I miss my Chicken with spice...  ;-)

Thanks for all the hard work everyone.  Keep it up.

Well... seems as if you could read peoples mind 
That is exactly what i'm working on atm. I'm doing some testing BUT i can't promise anything at all.

However, most probably there will be a new release for ALL OS/Platforms on Sunday ( IF i can manage to compile the whole bunch of apps ~ 60 ...)
Those will be compatible with the stock 5.28 that'll be released soon. (and hopefully include GFX)

I download
2.4V Windows x32 SSE3 Intel+GFX

but after grafic start, there are only black screen. It is only on my computer, or it is some problem?
