</p>
<p>One may wonder, looking a the list below, why to change the major release version if there are not so much changes made after the last release.</p>
<p>The main reason for that is the support of the new type of application that allows running AI/ML applications on BOINC infrastructure, that have different requirements. It's explained in more details <a href="https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/Sporadic-Applications">here</a>.</p>
<p>Also, starting from the upcoming release, we will provide our own <a href="2024.02.28.html">BOINC vanilla packages for the major Linux distributions</a></p>
<p>Although the current list of supported Linux distributions is quite short and contains only 4 of them, more will be added later. We tried to concentrate on the most popular distributions, and will add others step-by-step.</p>
<p>In this release the detection of <a href="2024.03.16.html">Android GPUs was finally fixed</a>.</p>
<p>This Release Candidate should be available for a public alpha testing before the end of March 2024.</p>
<p>The list of the most important changes, introduced in the next release you can find below.</p>
