Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I wasn't aware of this issue; I've asked Rom to check into it and to restore those versions if needed.
Of course, 5.10.45 is still available from the "Index of /dl" page as <http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.10.45_windows_intelx86.exe> and <http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.10.45_windows_x86_64.exe> Cheers, --Charlie At 10:45 AM +0100 5/20/09, Richard Haselgrove wrote: >Charlie Fenton wrote > >>Hello Maureen, >> >>We removed it because we want to phase out the V5 clients, and users >>would be more inclined to use a V5 client if it is shown on the >>download_all page, even though it is marked as an older version. >> >>We have now also removed the 5.10.45 and 5.8.16 versions for Linux >>for the same reason.
