I still have 131203-1, altough stream updates shows folders for 131204-2, 131205 and 131205-2. Is my avast missing out something?
I have 131205.0
Same here (131205.0)
Which version of avast are you running, v8.0 or v2014?
v2014 is on a different vps update cycle than previous versions.
If you are using v2014 you should be receiving continuous streaming updates.
Continuous streaming updates keeps the user protected while reducing the need
for regular vps updates. 8)
edit…
No, your avast is not missing anything this is proven by the fact that you are receiving the continuous streaming updates.
As I mentioned, you are very much being protected. Don’t get too hung up on vps versions.
I’m on AIS 2014 9.0.2008 with VPS 131205-0.
13120500_stream, 13120501_stream, and 13120502_stream for streaming updates containing a few updates.
As of this morning, I had 13-12-03-1 in avast 8; but 13-12-05-1 in avast 2014.
(I’m not at my avast system now to check the streaming updates…)
Per Para-noid, this is apparently normal.
I have avast 7 and I still have 131203-1 here
So is it normal?
Edit: Now it’s 131205-2 here. Pfweeh.
Para-noid wrote “v2014 is on a different vps update cycle than previous versions”.
Presumably, that means 7 and 8 (and earlier versions) are lumped together in terms of database updates. So what is normal for 8 would likewise be normal for 7.
Correct!
And those versions (7,8 and new 2014) have differnet cores or why is the update cycle different?
Different compilers and different servers.
The avast 2014 9.0.x has an optimised virus definitions database, which differs from that used in avast 5, 6, 7 & 8.
I’m still at 131205-0 with Avast 2014 right now. Odd that you updated to 131205-1 three hours ago with the same Avast version, yet it is not available for update here, as I just rechecked manually.
Gopher,
I’m not at my avast machines at the moment to confirm/check. I guess it’s possible that I mistyped the subversion #… but it was definitely today’s.
No problem, ky331. Some while back, there were sync issues with the Avast VPS and streaming servers in that some areas got updates while others didn’t, depending on which servers the particular Avast install contacted. That has been cleared up for quite a while.
The updates are spread around to lighten server load.
Don’t worry you’ll get them.
Thanks David! That’s the other thing I was grasping for. :-[

I’m aware of that. However, when there were problems with streaming updates for a while some time ago, that was not the issue. There were actual server problems to the point that some weren’t receiving streaming updates for several days. This usually occurred on the weekends. No problem now since the server issues have been fixed for quite a while.
