Message 7283 - Posted: 14 Jan 2005, 10:53:00 UTC

I've just seen on the Predictor message board that version 4.14 has just been released (Jan.13).

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php

It seems that upgrading to it is recommended for those who run Predictor or Einstein

http://predictor1.scripps.edu/forum_thread.php?id=1051

has anyone at CPDN tried it yet?
I noticed that the new download has yet to appear on the SETI download page.

Interesting. Does that mean that ver 4.5x is likely to be significantly delayed?

One user has already reported a CPDN WU error out, after upgrading to 4.14.

You'd be wise to give it a few days, otherwise tread with caution....

The 4.14 release is to fix a bug that is serious enough to warrant a new release in the public source tree. As previously noted, it really only affects the users for some other projects, because of the specific way that these projects handle data. The two projects involved are still in Alpha status, so if you're not involved in them, it's not likely you'd need to upgrade at this point.

The same fix has been incorporated into the development (4.x) tree.

The two trees are reasonably independent, thus it's not likely that there will be any delay in the 4.x release. Well, not as a result of this bugfix anyway.

4.5x versions are development only. 4.1x versions are public release.
ROM made this "branch" in the number schema at the release of 4.13.

I resource share CPDN 52.5%, Pred 30.8% and SAH 16.7% on my computer. Will V4.14 make things go horribly wrong with any of those projects if I install it?

I hear that it screws cpdn. Does this mean that if I don't upgrade then I will not get Pred wu's?

Live long and crunch!

I don't recall seeing it being mandatory anywhere, but since the topic spans multiple discussion areas it's probable that I could have missed something. Should it become mandatory, you would (should?) be advised via the project-to-client communication mechanism.

So far, I have seen more good reports for CPDN &amp; 4.14 than bad ones.

IMHO, right now the decision to upgrade really rests with the individual. If you're a long way into a CPDN wu and would rather not risk losing many hours of work, it would be unwise to upgrade simply for the sake of upgrading.

I also just checked and found that 4.14 has been pulled from the official <a href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php">Download BOINC client software</a> page. Not quite sure what to read into that tho.

If only my system could live as long as I intend to... ;)

BOINC v4.14 fixes a serious bug that mostly applies to Einstein @ Home; E@H users are encouraged to upgrade to v4.14 (see the E@H homepage for more information).

I have been running CC 4.14 since the very first day and no problem.
They also mention the CC 4.59 in E@H, so I would like to ask, is anybody using it with CPDN?

I am using the 4.59 client with CPDN. I have had no problems directly related to CPDN, but the upgrade is still scary.

David put in a change so that the benchmarks should run before any work is started in future versions. I think this will eliminate the risk of losing models when upgrading in the future.

Thanks JKeck {CPDN} I will keep your words in mind and hold my horses for a while. I did unload but not installed it yet. Have the 4.14 running since the very first day with no problems.

Thanks again from Spain.
