This new version contains a few CVMFS configuration improvements.

The new tasks for 300.06 show estimated runtime of 240 hours if it is not finished within about an hour. This setting cannot work with the 10 day deadline (= 240 hours) as tasks will go to high priority mode. I know that Theory tasks do not usually take that long but Boinc doesn't know that.

300.05 had that estimate as 100 hours and Boinc did not get any better at estimating the runtime even it had run hundreds of tasks The runtime estimate method has to be improved to reflect actual runtime needed or at least make the deadline longer (24 days).

The native Theory 300.06 are running fine for me (Ubuntu 18.04.4). One is at the two hour mark now, and shows 23 minutes remaining.
Several have finished at from 13 to 30 minutes.

OK, I am running only VBox tasks, so I was talking about them. I didn't check the native application version number.

What also don't seem right is that the progress is reported as a calculation of 'runtime/max runtime' which means that many tasks finish after about 1% progress.

Thank you for this tip. I had already forgot about that. I set it to 24 hours, let's see how many gets aborted because of that.
