Beta expired on January 15, 2007 ??

As croni486 has posted in another thread the SMP Beta seems to have prematurely expired as of today - since it's 8am in Stanford at the time of posting there aren't many official answers yet but just to warn you that if you need to restart your clients for any reason it may refuse to start.
The current client should have been fine up till 1st Feb so it's a bit of a mystery as to why this has suddenly happened

The bodge fix for now is to change the date on your system back by 1 day, start FAH, then change the date forward again - since FAH only checks the date on startup it will then run fine.

Vijay has said this so far...

For now, I've recompiled the code and put versions here:

http://www.stanford.edu/~pande/fah5-smp-osx
http://www.stanford.edu/~pande/fah5-smp-linux

If you're having trouble, try one of these out. Since this was done late Sunday night without consulting with other members of the dev team, this is more of a quick fix, than something that's meant to be permanent.

Thus, please DO NOT USE THIS VERSION UNLESS YOU CAN'T RUN YOUR EXISTING BINARY. We'll take another look tomorrow morning.

The full thread is here and should hopefully have some better news in the next couple of hours as those lazy Stanfordians should be crawling out of bed about now


Heads up fellas!!!

The updated version is looking good, so we put it in the .tgz file on the download page. We've only updated the linux version, as that seemed to be the only one with the early expiration bug (the OSX version should expire on Feb 1).
