My caches are full, so I don't know the answer to this yet.

As the SETI client has been reverted to 4.09, will we all be downloading 4.09 again?

As I'm getting 'no schedulers responded' messages, I'm guessing theat the servers are overloaded because we are all getting 4.09 again.

Yes, I did read that - but the post is not clear whether only users who haven't already got 4.10 won't now get it. Or if we all go back.

I suppose the question should have been better phrased as:

Does BOINC compare version numbers in a numeric sense (4.09 is LESS THAN 4.10) when deciding to download or not.
Or, does it simply say 4.aa is NOT the SAME as 4.bb and download because 4.bb is 'current'?

I thought I read somewhere, that a WU can have a MINIMUM required client version attached to it that triggers a download if necessary?
I don't recall anything about MAXIMUM or EXACT versioning. So I wondered what will be happening and how?

My cache was empty, I had downloaded 4.10 before, and I'm downloading 4.09 right now! So I presume you will download it again if

- You have already downloaded 4.10, which means that 4.09 was deleted, and,
- A new 4.10 or 4.11 is NOT released by the time you run your cache dry.

Now that I have downgraded to 4.09, I think it simply downloads whatever it is told to download by the scheduler.

Einstein requires CC 4.19 or later, but I have never seen how it reacted to an old CC version or whether a CC download was triggered by the application or not, because I was alrady running what Einstein required from the beginning. You could be right, though...

The download has finished and the WU is being crunched by 4.09, but I can still see 4.10 in the project folder. That's interesting! It seems that we will have some confusions, traffic peaks and sluggish uploads, downloads and updates due to "new" clients.
