On the Boinc download page I only find 6.10.58 as the recommended version for Linux and the experimental 6.13.x version.
The 6.10.58 is nearly one year old and for other OS a 6.12.x version is recommended.6.10.58 also is the version available in Fedora 15.

6.10.58 have problems scheduling multi-threaded tasks from for example Milkyway when a high priority task is running leading to waist of compute resources, see http://bolt.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=6541

Is there a special reason that there is no recommended 6.12.x version available for Linux or is this a first step in removing support for Linux?

Best regards

There is a page that shows all the various releases including 6.12.33 but I've lost that URL. Can anybody supply that URL please?

This one?
