Solaris SPARC Beta Test App 4.68 available

You got WUs from a different set (z1 vs. r1) for the new App, so it's not that easy to compare the run times. I'm inclined to think that it actually is 4x as fast, and the remaining differences come from the normal variation of the WUs.

It will be the official App for the S5 run, the few remaining WUs of S4 aren't worth the hazzle of distributing a new App.

I see that the anonymous platform scheme we use for public Beta Test is badly prepared for the transition to S5R1 we're doing now.

With that transition I'd consider the Beta Test to be over - and successful. The Apps we will use for S5R1 are almost the same than the ones we had in public Beta Test, the improved science code is actually identical, thus the new Apps will be precisely as fast as the Beta Test Apps.

Thank you for all your help, this was incredibly useful!

Due to the rather late build of the Solaris App what I wrote about the other Beta Test Apps dosn't apply here - this Solaris App is indeed capable of processing both types of WUs and came with an app_info.xml that will also allow for getting both types. So in principle you don't need to change anything. You should, however, remove the app_info.xml at some point if you want to get back to the automatic update track again.
