Hello

I installed docker version of client form

https://hub.docker.com/r/boinc/client

It shown it have version 7.17.0..

It's official ?
Last release was 7.14.2...

Best

Doesn't the odd number .17 indicate a testing version? Help>about shows BOINC Manager (Pre-Release)
version 7.17.0(x64) on mine but then I rolled my own after downloading source from git-hub.

We are in an unfortunate interim phase where release version 7.16 is slowly, ever so slowly, crawling towards the official release line. The Docker team probably had their own imperative for making an interim release without the wait.

I don't know

"# docker exec boinc boinccmd --client_version
Client version: 7.17.0"

Someone from boinc dev team could answer ?

So account:

is Boinc official ?
If yes - ok.

Just alarming form me official:
"7.4.22 Recommended version"

https://hub.docker.com/r/boinc/client

p.s.
Download section at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php is REALLY outdated...

More on time is there

I'm a member (volunteer, small scale) of the boinc dev team. The source code at https://github.com/BOINC/boinc-client-docker is certainly part of the collective BOINC project - different volunteers work on different part of the project, according to their interests and skill levels. You can see that my contribution was accepted by the team at places like #3183, if you want confirmation.

The discussion here about current version numbers is accurate, as far as it goes.
