I've updated the OSX and Linux apps to 0.14, and the code is in the code release directory. Dave should be updating the Windows apps when he gets to it. These should fix the error with checkpoint which was causing apps to return invalid results. After these have a chance to get out to everyone and everything looks ok (probably Monday or Tuesday) I'll turn back on the flag that will not award credit to widely invalid results (which was what the checkpointing error was causing). This should give everyone time to update their stock app (or a newly compiled optimized app). On another note, this thread has more information about all the changes in v0.14. I was able to remove a multiply and divide from the inner loop of the app, as well as some conditional statements, which resulted in a performance improvement of ~4%.
