The v6 client replaces the current v5 Linux and OSX SMP clients (which are due to expire).
Make sure you read the FAQ relating to the new client BEFORE you use it, there's important info in there.

The v6 Linux client is now universal, meaning a single client operates in both Uniprocessor and SMP environments (not automatically though).

The v6 OSX client is SMP only.

The v6 Windows client is Uniprocessor only, since the WinSMP client still needs more work.

Yeah, bending reality to fit Windows will take a bit of time

EDIT: Oooh, passkeys?

Aww, does this mean I have to fart about adding that to any borgs I may claim in the future? One more bloody thing to remember...

You don't HAVE to, but if you want your stats tracked properly and to be eligible for bonuses you'll need the passkey.

Hmm, what kinds of bonuses? Cash would be good

Will have a nosey at the client when I can be mithered to start messing

ahh good stuff


I've read that the v6 windows uniprocessor client is currently not reading out the CPU info properly. I'll wait till tomorrow to update this machine as it's quite a way through a WU at the moment, also the issue may be fixed in the meantime.

Gah I can never get flags to work in linuxSMP

Atleast I backed up the folders first.
