Development

We have two updates. 3.7.8.0 fixes the forking bugs and 3.7.9.0 brings the NN to windows users. The former is the mandatory update and 3.7.9.0 is a leisure.

We now have a greylist process to help manage BOINC projects.

@Barton26 has been given the responsibility of test coordinator. This will hopefully smooth out the bug hunting and fixing process, along with testing before major releases.
