WARNING: Due to a big bug in this version, do not upgrade to it when you're using any sort of CUDA device and are using it to crunch. Your work will get lost.

Thanks for the warning. Just to clarify: is that only the WUs which had already been started? Will it work afterwards, with new WUs?

Anytime you restart BOINC it will kill all GPU tasks ...

They put the GPU detect code and the CC Config code in the wrong order so ...

Every time you restart BOINC it will kill GPU tasks currently held or started... after it is running it should, in theory be ok... until you restart BOINC for any reason ...
