31 May, 2020 - BOINC upload problems with LHC, Rosetta or other https:// projects (Windows) - Until a permanent fix is made available, replace the ca-bundle.crt file (1) in the main BOINC directory and uploads should now work (force uploads/updates, no reboot necessary). The old 7.4.53 BOINC version for Android might be dead in the water for a while(fix requires root access). Some projects not requiring a secure connection are still functional. Linux, MAC versions appear to be unaffected. The future 7.16.7 release  might fix this.
