• The upgrade may delete your login item for BOINC Manager. If this happens, BOINC will not launch automatically when you log in or restart your Mac. Just run the BOINC installer again to fix this.
• If you are running CUDA tasks, you must upgrade to version 3.0 of the CUDA drivers, which you can download here.
