The BOINC software (including client and server components)
evolve over time.
There are a number of pairwise interactions
in which version mismatches could cause problems:
- RPC from core client to scheduling server.
- RPC from core client to file upload handler.
- Interface between core client and application.
- Interface between BOINC DB and all BOINC back-end components.
- The parsing of the core state file by the core client.
Each BOINC software component has a version
consisting of three integers:
major, minor, and release.
Some changes to the BOINC server software may involve
changes to the BOINC database
(e.g. adding a new table or field).
Such releases will include SQL script for modifying an
existing database in-place.
