- An updated version of the proxy daemon (see below) has now been posted so please use this one if you already downloaded it yesterday. The main difference is it will get the update files faster.

- Beginning with the next update, old proteins will be accepted for a total of 48 hours after the changeover, with only half-credit being given after 24 hours. Thus you can let your client update 'naturally' without fear of losing any work from now on.
- There appears to be a bug with the latest version with the '-qt' flag - you may have gotten error 908 'incorrect protein' when you try to upload. This has been fixed on the server side for now, and will be fixed 'properly' in the client with the next update. Files should upload properly now though.
- With the new protein today we have also released a new version of the client with some important changes. See the 'whatsnew.txt' in the program directory for a complete list of changes, some of which follow.
- The pseudo-energy scoring function has been changed to what we believe will be a more accurate, reliable score for identifying near-native folds
- For new installs of the text client, there is now an interactive setup to configure some of the available options more easily.
- There is now an option (-s) to customize the upload interval (see the readme1st.txt in your client directory for details)
- An auto-update proxy daemon is now available for download. This is useful if you have a large number of computers. You can run this daemon on one machine and it will download all auto-update files that you specify, as they become available. You can then set all your other machines to grab the updates locally from the machine running the daemon. This should greatly simplify updates for users with many computers. A slightly improved version will be posted tomorrow so we recommend you wait until then to download it.
- Following this update, we will have increased bandwidth for sending out updates thanks to some generous volunteers who have offered to serve as mirror sites. All updates will still be digitally signed by us to ensure their integrity and authenticity however.
