1) The "days between sending new end dates" preference now accepts values between 0.125 and
7.0 (was between 1 and 7). This lets you contact the server as frequently as every three
hours. This can be useful in conjunction with the server feature that sends an email to
you if the computer is more than one hour late contacting the server. To turn on that
server feature, go to the CPUs web page, and click on the CPU, there you can turn on a
couple of email features.
2) AVX2 support for trial factoring. About a 50% speedup over the previous version. However,
all trial factoring should still be done on a GPU. A GPU is on the order of 100 times more
efficient at trial factoring than a CPU!!!
