Version 8.2.5 of the BOINC client is available for testing.

It has some small but important changes; see

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/Client-release-notes

As usual, please report test results (including positive results) here:

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/alpha/test_form.php

We already made the MacOS 8.2.5 version Recommended,

because it has some critical fixes.

But feel free to test on Mac also.

BTW: Docker/Podman isn't quite working on Mac yet.

BOINC detects Podman OK but jobs fail.

We hope to have this fixed soon; it's probably an issue

with the apps rather than the client.
