Windows S5R3 App 4.11 available for Beta Test

(moderation:
A new Windows App is available from our Beta Test Page.
This is the one that will throw a floating-point exception in case of a serious numerical error instead of the time-consuming explicit checking we did before (I never did this on Windows, prepare for the unexpected...).
I think that the 4.11 will be able to do the workunits on which the 4.07 fails (se thread "validate errors").
With the app_info.xml in the package the 4.11 should pick up tasks where 4.07 left them.
Please test & report!

Windows S5R3 App 4.11 available for Beta Test

Thanks for the report. I need to think and investigate.
I had this a few hours ago on a Mac after installing an App built from the same code for internal testing. After four client errors, however, it now seem to be working fine. Reminds me to what I saw with som 5.10 BOINC clients that apparently started working properly only after a few client errors. Maybe something is broken in the BOINC version we are linking (also see the thread for the Linux Beta).
Better wait until the tasks in progress have finished before switching to the new App version, just to be on the safe side.

I'm sorry. I think I know

I'm sorry. I think I know where this error comes from, and it's not BOINC; it's actually my code. I'll probably not be able to fix it before tomorrow. Glad to have this Beta Tests...

A new App that has this bug fixed is available. Transition from 4.11 should be smooth.
