I upgraded to 4.16 from 4.13

I upgraded to 4.16 from 4.13 and it reset my CPDN work unit that I had 348 hours invested in. So I restored from backup. I saw this thread and upgraded to 4.17 without issue. Now CPDN and E@H are happily coexisting. :)

Now I must search to figure out what the visualization is telling me.

I am planning to to send out

I am planning to to send out another ten thousand account keys for Einstein@Home in the next day or so. I am not yet sure whether or not we should ask new users to use 4.16 or 4.17. So this thread is very useful to me: please post a short note saying if 4.17 did work for you or if it did not.

I am particularly interested in hearing from Linux and Mac OSX users.

Note: sometime later this week I am going to start restricting the Einstein@home scheduler to only accepting requests from core client versions greater than 4.13. This is because 4.13 clients generate too many downloading errors and trash a lot of results. So if you are still using the BOINC 4.13 core client, please don't wait too long before upgrading!

That's right !

Athlon64 3.2, WinXP SP2, Boinc 4.16, CPDN + Einstein
Celeron 650, WinXP SP2, Boinc 4.14, Seti + Einstein

Both machines upgraded to 4.17 without any problems (Upgrading from 4.15 to 4.16 has destroyed my WUs of CPDN and Einstein, 360 hours were lost).

I hope, uploading and downloading will be fine.
