-We will be releasing a new version of the software AND a new protein on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 at 11:00 AM EST. This software update should fix a large portion of the existing bugs.

========

No Beta mentioned :( Here's hoping ....

[Darkness Productions]

If this one hits like the previous one, I'm jumping to ECC2 for a while. I can't handle these bad clients any more.

[Richard Clyne]

Hopefully lessons have been learned and it will be a smooth change over (everything crossed).

Actually, I believe that IB is running it on a number of machines, started testing it yesterday (I think)...

[Moogie]

Yeah...i believe that had a version out that he was having folks test.

/me tries to think of ways to bork dp's update so he switches to ECC2.... :smoking:


So dp want to beta test a new version of dfGUI for me? :thumbs:

[Dyyryath]

Yeah, keep talking Digital...just keep talking. I'll have the boys smack you around some and lock you down in the Free-DC basement. You'll be writing dfGUI for no one but us and living on leftovers from IB's fridge! :whip: :bonk: :fireboun: :weggy:

:D :D

[magicfan241]

HOLD IT!!

You can't have DP living on the leftovers in IB's fridge! How am I going to survive?

Oh, well, going baxk to ThINK

[Chinasaur]

There may be a Windows test client out..but no Linux client out for test. Windows may be the predominant platform, but it's not the ONLY platform.

Santayana was right....

[rsbriggs]

Probably because the Linux client hasn't had many problems ??

What??? :spray:

[rsbriggs]

Compared to the Windows client, the Linux client hasn't had many problems. Remember the entire multiple-changeover fiasco? The linux clients just kept on trucking, while the Windoze guys (including me) were down for - seems like - days...

I think the Linux clients were the only ones generating us any stats there for some time....

[Chinasaur]

I'm well aware of that. It has bugs regardless.

Each of my machines craps out during the week for some reason or another. That's a 100% failure rate every week.

:thumbs:

What happens when they "crap out"?

[Chinasaur]

Stop running and/or corrupted filelist.txt

Mandrake 8.1, Knoppix on the dual and OS X.

[bwkaz]

Hmm... no idea, sorry. But, I've never had it happen to me... (small comfort, I know...).
