Download & install, and if the "simple" GUI doesn't show-up when starting the Manager, choose View - Simple View.
The simple GUI also includes local editing of a very limited selection of General Preferences, the full collection will be included in v5.10.xx

Anyway, release-notes:
New CPU Scheduler.
New Work Fetch Policy.
CPU Capability detection.
Revamped logging solution.
Improved security for POSIX compliant systems (only implemented for the Mac)
Add support for file compression on upload.
BOINC Simple GUI.
Added memory usage limits for BOINC applications. (Check preferences for new settings)


A couple of improvements to CPU Scheduler is that tries to wait until checkpointed until switches to another result, and a wu in deadline-trouble won't trigger all work is run in earliest-deadline-1st.

As for Work Fetch, example a stuck seti-download won't block other projects from getting work.

Not mentioned in release-notes, but disk-pie-charts is finally back, the same is the network upload/download-limits.
