• the default value for the "suspend_if_no_recent_input" pref is 0, not 60
  
• if sched request fails, show the scheduler URL (that might be the problem)
  
• Show alert if idle time to resume computing is greater than idle time to suspend computing
  
• ignore old prefs sent by projects or AM
  
• avoid overscheduling CPUs in presence of MT jobs
  
• Manager: computing prefs dialog bug
  
• Manager: Add button in event log to display only alerts (errors)
  
• Manager: Improve consistency of control labels and accelerators
  
• Manager: Show native names for language options, and only those for which translations are available

Upgrading from 7.20.2 to 7.24.1, I noticed that dont_check_file_sizes set to 1 is not working anymore.
Downgrading to 7.20.2 and it's working again.
