In honor of my hometown team the Philadelphia Phillies winning the World Series, I put up a new version (4.00) that will track how much time you've run QCN, and grant BOINC 'cobblestone' credits accordingly. This new version also has some improved graphics in the screensaver (in my biased opinion :-).The 'bouncing cube' now shows a plot of your accelerometer on each cube face, the earth view has a nice multitexture of the earth at day and night (if your graphics card supports it), and in screensaver mode it will cycle through these different scenes so you will get some variety. Also I have made workunits shorter - that way after a 'day' of run-time on QCN, you will get a new workunit and new software versions. This is an 'optional' upgrade now if you 'Abort' your current workunit or 'Reset Project.' Once we have a few people running 4.00+ for a few days I will send out an automatic message to upgrade.
