Starboard 5.21 (April Fools Day 2008)

This version was released for the April Fools prank Primates@Home. It is again the glmatrix hack, with DNA letters (A, C, G, T) in darker green. The date and time are hidden in some strips, while others contain hidden words. The words were taken from the output buffer filter which was used to alter Pirates@Home to become Primates@Home.
One could interpret the occasional hidden messages in strands of DNA as suggestive of the small differences beteen humans and apes. Or not.
There were no significant changes to the application code, and as before it was build with BOINC 5.10.32/r14462.
