Message Type: Information Message

This Message means that the BOINC Client Software has received a changed set of General Preferences from the Project's Scheduling Server. This changed set has been downloaded and is now the configuration that the BOINC Client Software is using.

When other Project's Scheduling Servers are contacted, these modified General Preferences will be uploaded to the BOINC Database for that Project. This allows the distribution of the General Preferences to all other Projects.
