A trio of splitters are now up and producing new work.

We plan to release major version 4 of BOINC and SETI@Home tomorrow.

A clarification about last week's fallback to an earlier DB state: all work that was uploaded during the period of August 13th to 18th was lost and so cannot be credited. As well, all work that was generated and downloaded during that period was lost to the DB and so cannot be credited. This work is being regenerated and redistributed.

Note especially that they are due about now to upgrade to version 4.xx of Boinc. A few partially processed 'Boinc 3.xx' WUs results will unfortunately be 'lost' as they can not be returned when the servers are on v4.

Upgrades between major versions will be rare. Consider this all part of the recent rapid developments.

No WUs will be actually 'lost' as the database will collect up all the loose ends.


Load up "Boinc 4" and happy crunchin'!
