When will there be a new client version available? I would like to update to a bigger version number tonight. It wouldn't matter at all if the new version would be completely identical to a present version :D

This could also be a way to support BOINC, if pseudo-new-versions could be bought and paid via some online payment services, for a very small price. Or somekind of zirinium-membership for people, who would like to get an update once a week. Pseudo-new-versions could always have some known last digits like 55, 66, 77, 88 and 99 so they could be actually recognized. When can I buy?

Which version are you using then? 7.6.6 is available as beta.

Well, I would be stupid enough to buy that... for a dollar or two per month, but I guess not too many other people would get similar fun of that "special version" thing. I can understand why resources will never be put into making that kind of joke available. It wouldn't be worth the additional administrative work involved and it could also cause unnecessary confusion and questions like "what's the newest official version at the moment, because I can see there's this...".
