(just forgot my version is 5.8.15 running quite well)) - Luke. ID: 599822 ·

I would say 5.8.15 is fine for now. And you dont need to reinstall the chicken app then. The boinc client has nothing to do with the sience application.

Mike I concur w/ Mike. Current issues w/ most recent upgrades are not worth the hassles and frustrations they bring unless you REALLY want to beta test. They're not quite ready for prime-time yet, hence why 5.10.7 for -doze was withdrawn. ID: 600102 ·

There is no need to upgrade, but 5.10.13 is running well. There would be no need to re-install chicken after the upgrade as it is not deleted. ID: 600150 ·

It maybe be released soon. Atleast that's my guess. {this message is intended to save some people time. Especially those who don't like to upgrade often, and like to stick to recommended versions} ID: 600153 ·

It is one of teh causes of the exit with no finished file message on windows systems. BOINC WIKI ID: 600161 ·
