The climateprediction.net server has been enticing me to upgrade to version 4.19 of the BOINC client for several days (when it trickles, I get that message). I've ignored it until now, because I was well into a work unit and didn't want to upset anything.

Is switching to the new version worth it for me or for climateprediction.net? Or should I hang tight with my happily functioning 4.13?

If I should upgrade, instructions on how to do so (without killing the WU in progress) for the command-line-challenged would be appreciated.

There is a bigger upgrade to 4.2x promised - Windows already has a stable version. The change from 4.13 to 4.19 was a much smaller one, and not critical, but seems to be entirely reliable.

If you are apprehensive, you could use the promise of 4.2x as an excuse for waiting a week or two.
