I was wondering,

The Climate Prediction experiment (www.climateprediction.net) has announced going to boinc version 4.02 on august 26th. Will Setiboinc go along the new version?

I am currently running the beta version of climateprediction on boinc on one machine, and I can't run setiboinc because of the version incompatibility.... I'd like to know when this will be resolved...

Yes, however V4.x is still in alpha test stage for SAH. It is reasonable to expect it to progress to beta, before going public.

As you will have seen on the main page, the dev team are in the process of ressurecting the alpha & beta setups. Could be as little as two weeks away, or as much as a month or more.

My advice would be to pick the project you're happier to supply resources to, and gear yourself for that one, be it v3.x or v4.x.

Happy BOINC'ing

They don't appear to have followed this route for V3.20...

Alpha test has 4.03, and there are some problems with the design of the work scheduler. Dual CPU computers have an idle CPU if only one project of several is running (or the non-preferred is the only one running). Deadlines are not respected on slow machines or low share projects.
