I'm using boinc 5.10.7 on my iMac G5. I can see that some of you are running on 5.23 already but I have no idea how I can switch to this version. If I go to download page there's only 5.10.7 as the highest recommended version.
Thanks in advance.

You must differ between the BOINC client (version 5.10.7) which do the download and uploads of the WUs and schedules the science application, for example the SETI science application (version 5.2x).

If you have problems with the 5.22 application, it is OK to finsh your current running WUs and then select the SETI project within the BOINC manager and press the "reset project" button. But attention, if you do this all your downloaded WUs will be thrown away.

The better way, if you not have any problems or issues with the 5.22 application, is to wait. If your system downloads new WUs, the BOINC client would automaticly download the 5.23 application. For some time, your system crunching 5.22 and 5.23 WUs in parallel till there would no more 5.22 WUs at the SETI servers are available.
