Bug fixed - Windows Upgrade Critical - Also Linux Upgrade
(posted by mike garrison) Friday, 24 Dec 2004
A very critical bug was found by KenG6 of Team Anandtech and has now been fixed. The bug only effects Windows machines with non SSE2 processors. This means that Linux/FreeBSD/BeOS are not affected by the bug.

We ask that you spread the word about this new client, because it is very important that v2.2.0 windows clients are upgraded to v2.3.0. Due to the nature of this bug and the possibility of missing a prime, in a few weeks we will stop accepting work from the Windows v2.2.0 client. At that point, the v2.2.0 windows tests will be reassigned and restested to make sure we did not miss a prime. The server will not accept work from the Windows v2.2.0 at that time.

We have also fixed a minor bug with the Linux and FreeBSD clients and we ask that you upgrade those clients too. Altho the bug is not near as serious as the Windows bug, if you were to abort a test in the first 10 minutes it would lead to an invalid residue.

Please head over to the download page get the new client. We thank KenG6 for finding this bug.

Ken not only deserves a :beer: for that, but also for his fantastic work in developing the only proxy/queue and now recently an alternative server architecture available for Seventeen or Bust. Cheers for all your hard work towards this project, Ken 🙂
