I've got version 4. Do I have to upgrade?
Posted by: ArcticRaider
I'm giving it a few more days, monitor the folding-forums for any bugs, before I upgrade.

Heres the Change list
RECENT CHANGES (Client):
5.00:
- Collection server support. If a client finishes a work unit from
a Work server with this feature enabled, then if 2 upload
attempts to that server fail, the client will return to the
work unit to a Collection server. Pending credit will be given
for the unit, becoming final when the Work server comes back up
and verifies what the Collection server has received. All work
servers will eventually be associated with a Collection server,
and many already are.
- Configuration option to allow downloads and uploads greater
than 5 MB in size, which some new projects will require due
to the size of what they are simulating.
- G@H configuration option reworded to be "No deadline" option.
- Print executable name and launch directory to log.
- Fix for bug where queue slot could get stuck "Fetching"
- MyFolding links updated.
- -forceSSE flag removed, since even with older clients, the flag
has become meaningless because recent Core_78's give SSE priority
over 3DNow automatically.
- Configuration option to pause work when the computer is using
battery power (for laptops).
- Behavior in response to a shutdown or logoff of the system should be
improved (exiting nicely).
- Console: Built in service installation support through Configuration, to
have the program automatically begin at machine startup. If one wishes, the
service can be further configured and interacted with through the Services
tool (GUI) that can be accessed through the Windows Settings (under
Administrative Tools in 2000/NT). The Sc command line tool may also be used.
There are known issues with the Net tool.
- GUI: Larger window size and more informative display.
- GUI: Screensaver configuration option.
- GUI: Print a message to FAHlog.txt when ask to network.
I like the addition of installing as a service

Yeah, the service looks nice.
I see the forceSSE flag is removed as it now defaults to SSE for gromacs on AMD. Good.

I dunno...still kinda would like re-insurance that they DO acutally take over...

Upgraded all my boxes to version 5, piece of cake.
What I did do was rename the file to fah5.exe, dropped it into every directory, created all of the shortcuts, stopped the fah4console.exe's and restarted them all with no problems pointing now at fah5.exe. I then deleted the fah4console files to do a bit of house keeping.

That's the same procedure I did from 3 -> 4.
Did you wait for the units to finish first?
