As I'm about 18 hours away from being out of SAH work, and I've been away from here for nearly a month now, can someone give me a brief synopsis of what happened from 4.24 to 4.30?

State of current affairs

A lot of things changed, actually:
* Slower performance of AMD CPUs and earlier Intel CPUs when using the Windows client : fixed
* Cross-Platform Validation problems: seems to be fixed by a combination of client fixes and validator adjustments
* Less client errors, several "stability" bug fixes for the clients
* Deadline: The deadline for WU is now variable, depending on the "size" of the workunit. Range from 2 to 3 weeks.
* Monster-Workunits which are worth around 650 credits (and take accordingly long crunching times) are now appearing. They will get the new 3 week deadline.
* However, the current Linux and MacOS PPC beta apps suffer from a performance problem. Will probably be fixed soon, I guess.
Did I forget something?
