New Client 7.6.8

Did an over-the-top Linux install on Linux Mint 18 and 19 with no problems.

Thanks. The 19 was seamless, and as a bonus the upcycled C2D CPU looks to have given me about 200ppd improvement as well as running cooler. The 18's are all still folding but will get done as they complete.

...As I got it in the "old" version of the client there was no separate option for COVID-19 so you had to choose "Any", which gave you the high priority projects. And these are currently all COVID19 projects. In the new version we have now a separate option for COVID-19, so that the workaround by Any isn't longer necessary. With the new client the result should be the same if you select "COVID-16" ("Give me COVID-19 projects!") or "Any/High priority" ("Give me high priority projects!")...

Welcome to the F@H Forum Marginauto,

The new client allows you to set a priority from the client-side. Currently, there are majority of COVID-19 projects at high priority so you would most likely get the same result. As time moves on, the server-side priority may change and this may change what WUs you're assigned to fold. Here are some details about the new version: https://foldingathome.org/2020/04/17/ne ... -projects/
