Congratulations to Cipher, who found his 2nd prime with the Riesel Sieve Project. While not a BOINC prime, this LLRNet beast weighed in at #19 in the world - 794,556 digits long. 342673*2^2639439-1 is indeed prime. Thank you to everyone that has made this prime possible.
I'm also pleased to announce the 5.35 release of the Windows client. This is a real bugfix, as watzkej has been gracious enough to spend most of the evening in #rieselsieve debug testing things, and Chuck has helped narrow down all my bad coding problems (that he could find). We're on track again with this 5.35 release and should see a speed increase - both from the smaller dat (about 200,000 pairs, between the Sieve effort and removing 1 k) and the use of sr2sieve.
Thanks for sticking with us this last week - it has been quite a hectic time for all of us.
