If you're going to mention an alpha-version it's better to link to the download-page instead, so users can see the warnings...

v5.1.3 should fix "no new work", and partially downloaded files should continue from where left off and not from beginning.

Most projects needs to upgrade their server-software, till they've upgraded you will not get any work from these projects if you're using v5.


Also, v5.1.x is alpha-versions, and v5.1.3 is work-in-progress so isn't expected to be stable enough for release.

So, don't complain if your mouse starts chasing the computer around in the room...

Precisely when is not known, but rumours have it that it will be "soon".

Odd number are development "releases" (for testing), while even numbering is intended to be user releases. So, 5.1.x and 5.3.x are for development, but 5.2.x and 5.4.x are for you! :)

When you see it available here, you can download it.

When you see it here, with red text, you can download it - but use it on your own risk.

5.1.3 works perfect for me.
The calculated time for each WU matches by about two minutes.

So Far the progress indicator while uploading jumps up to 104.38% done before finishing the upload of seti Alpha Wus, and it still doesn't get rid of aborted WUs. Major version 5 can't be used with PPAH and LHC, so if you run one of them you best not get version 5.

see warnings below about it being in alpha status.

I cannot add any new projects using v5.1.3. I've tried with SZTAKI, Primegrid (before it went down), and Einstein.

I go through the attach to new project wizard. It asks me for the URL of the project. I enter it and push next, it says that it is communicating with the project, but then comes back with a message stating that the URL is not a BOINC project, check the URL and try again.

Sure enough Jim, I couldn't attach to Orbit. I'll report it unless you've already done so.

I reported it to the BOINC manager forum on the BOINC boards, but if you have a better place for reporting this then be my guest.
