Client Version Transition

The transition to v3.03 is now complete. Porting of v3.03 clients continues and there will be additional v3.03 clients available on this page in the future. Thank you for your patience. To verify your client version:
./setiathome -version

Clients previous to version 3.03 have been turned off completely
