INCOMPATIBILITY WARNING FOR UPCOMING 6.13.3 BUILD

Howdy Folks,

I'm getting ready to release a new build of 6.13, this new build contains changes to support volunteer storage. You can see some of the
details here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/VolunteerStorage

Basically when you upgrade to this build there will be some changes to the client_state.xml file which will make it incompatible with older client software.

I strongly suggest making a backup copy of the data directory before upgrading to the new build just in case something happens and you need to roll-back to an earlier build of BOINC.

Aufgrund der Probleme der aktuellen Version wurde diese auf der BOINC-Seite aus dem Downloadverzeichnis entfernt. In Kürze soll aber die 6.13.4 erscheinen. Bis dahin wird auch bei uns der Download vorerst gestoppt um größere Fehler zu vermeiden.

Wie immer eine Warnung...

Howdy Folks,

I had originally planned on releasing 6.13.4 today, but ran into a bump
with my schedule. I'll release it tomorrow.

For those who cannot wait there are two warnings you need to know about.

1. File uploads may not work with all projects. If you find
upload errors for some of the projects you are running you will need to
get in touch with the project staff and have them upgrade their file
upload handler or disable upload signing certificate generation per
David's email to project administrators.

2. Upgrading to this build, or anything newer, changes things
internally so that downgrading to an older build causes the client
software to abandon all work and re-fetch work from the projects.
Depending on project configuration, you may get the same work over again
or you may be assigned new work.

Thanks in advance.
