Monotone Boolean Functions and Script Engine

GPU in its latest version 0.949 has a new plugin written by Alex Fihman called Monotone Boolean Functions (mbf.dll). The plugin attempts to approximate Dedekind's problem by means of a Monte Carlo approximation. This is the first "real-world" GPU plugin that tries to solve a mathematical problem.
More information on this plugin can be found at http://www.fihman.com/mbf/mbf.html

0.949 also contains Thexa4's Script Engine, which is a novel frontend written in Visual Basic. This frontend adds scripting capabilities to the GPU stack language. It handles GPU answers from different nodes as a set with unique elements, stored into particular variables. The frontend has also loop and echo support. For more about the GPU stack language go to http://gpu.sourceforge.net/virtual.php

0.949 is also released with tons of bugfixes: in particular long strings were producing Access Violations (fixed by Alex Fihman), a memory leak was discovered. The job modifiers as described in chapter 5.4 of gpu_ext.pdf were not working. The upgrade from the lite to the full version did not work for the Orbit Reconstruction Extension. New entry nodes are added (Thexa4 and hisoka), and guevara is moved to a more accessible port (8080).
Double clicking in chat was not opening a search browser anymore. The mailing list menu item is replaced by a Wiki one. In the current version on autoupdate (0.9491), the total uptime bugfix is solved.

If the period July, September was very bad, the period October, November revealed itself as one of the most proficous for the project :-)
Stay tuned
