Version 3.08 is a precautionary security release. There was a potential buffer overrun in the networking code of the client that is fixed with version 3.08. Note that to exploit this vulnerability, a potential attacker would have to trick the client into contacting a fake server rather than the actual SETI@home server. To our knowledge, no SETI@home client has ever been attacked in this manner.

3.08只是修复了3.03版的一个潜在的缓冲区溢出漏洞,没有修改算法.
如果是改进了算法的话,服务器就应该不会接受3.03版提交的结果了.
不过,3.03是不是比3.08快,快多少就不知道了.难道只是心理上的?哪位兄弟有兴趣的话可以用同一个WU测试一下看看.. :-)
