Boinc Client 4.17 released

I am planning to to send out another ten thousand account keys for Einstein@Home in the next day or so. I am not yet sure whether or not we should ask new users to use 4.16 or 4.17. So this thread is very useful to me: please post a short note saying if 4.17 did work for you or if it did not.

I am particularly interested in hearing from Linux and Mac OSX users.

Note: sometime later this week I am going to start restricting the Einstein@home scheduler to only accepting requests from core client versions greater than 4.13. This is because 4.13 clients generate too many downloading errors and trash a lot of results. So if you are still using the BOINC 4.13 core client, please don't wait too long before upgrading!
