Upgrading to client 7.6.8 with active WUs
I want to upgrade to the 7.6.8 client, but I currently have active WUs started with the 7.5.1 client. Is it possible for me to upgrade without losing the current progress, or should I wait for them to finish?

I would set them to Finish and then do it. I've just installed 7.6.8 and it remembered all my previous settings.

Best I can say is maybe. It worked well for most doing this during testing, but not 100%. Usually a new version would be put out for a period of Open Beta testing where a larger variety of folding setups would be encountered, that was skipped this time.
So it will probably work fine, but can't guarantee that.

Alright, I'll do what HaloJones suggested to be on the safe side. I'm just impatientJoe_H wrote:Best I can say is maybe. It worked well for most doing this during testing, but not 100%.

@Joe_H, what's the update in this client over 7.5.1?

looks good, just upgraded my desktop from a 7.4 version. Only thing I don't like is the font on the log tab is bigger than it was. Will try upgrading one of my linux machines.
