	Work is been sent out. Hopefully this means the issue has been fixed? I won't ask for any more until I get a response or see a new post saying the issue with the "checksum output bug" has been fixed? Appreciate your work on this over the festive season Festive greetings

	No more work have been sent out. There were over 2k results getting blocked after reporting by primenet. The apps on nvidia are not affected.

	Found this in mersenneforum: All users are encouraged to upgrade at their earliest convenience. Note that mersenne.org and mersenne.ca will not accept results from v0.23 or earlier after the end of this year (2025-Dec-31), so please upgrade before then. While you're upgrading mfaktc, it would be a good time to ensure that your AutoPrimeNet installation is also up-to-date (as I write this the current version is 1.1.2) This is very bad and need an update to all our apps.

	I was wondering whether you read it earlier, as the deadline is fast approching. I would expect you were notified specifically as srbase is a large contributer to TF? Besides that - perhaps obvious, you can find version 0.24 for mfaktc here: https://download.mersenne.ca/mfaktc There is also a table there (Windows/Linux) showing that the latest version is build using various CUDA-versions, making sure older(ish)-GPU's can still work. It might be difficult to configure on the server side, however newer NVIDIA 5000-series don't work with CUDA pre-12 build mfaktc whilst older series (pre 1000-series) don't support CUDA 13 and therefore won't work with mfaktc build using CUDA 13. I hope I state the above correctly, just wanting to help :) As a final note, boinc can detect the NVIDIA-driver version and perhaps based on that it can determine which mfaktc build to use?

	We cannot use the original precompiled versions because of the multicore modifications for BOINC. I got no PM from the dev. Just read it in forum. I also informed the ARM dev user to build new apps.

	Several new apps have been set up. Intel Arc and CUDA11 are still missing. Adjustments still need to be made to the plan_class. Please report any problems with the application, and if you are not receiving any tasks, as soon as they become available again.

	We have deprecated cuda10, if you want to get more work then update your cuda version to 12. cuda12 apps are running on cc5 min. cuda13 had some issues with driver version so we have decided to let cuda12 apps run for it. Update: - apps updates done If you have any issues let us know.

	We need to replace cuda12.8 win version. The old code from 0.23.3 was used. We will update the app soon. Update: new app is up.

	I've been trying to download TF tasks for NVIDIA GPU for the last couple of days, and have not gotten any. Do I need to reset some setting or delete an old file due to the changes you have made?

Had the same issue + I was impatient. Clicked 'Reset project' in BOINC and I worked after that. Not sure if this applies to others too.

	A project reset is the best option. There could be an old entry in client_state from older apps somewhere that blocked boinc from downloading.

	Thanks all. I reset the project, but still no GPU tasks downloaded. I was able to download GPU tasks on another PC, so after checking I realized GPU drivers on this PC had not been updated in awhile. Updated drivers and GPU downloads started. Thanks WezH!

	We are still trying to fix mfakto apps on AMD. A lot of cards are not working and can't solve the selftest.
