It also once again enables the BOINC installer to optionally set BOINC as your screensaver, but only under MacOS 26 or later.

\cf2 New for Apple Silicon Macs:\cf0 This version of BOINC can run project applications written only for Intel Macs in addition to ones written for Apple Silicon, but only if Apple's Rosetta 2 translation is installed. (Please do not confuse Apple's Rosetta 2 with the BOINC Rosetta project.) If you have not previously installed Apple's Rosetta 2 translator, the BOINC installer will offer you the option of installing it.\
