Welcome to the world of distributed computing in which software updates 
can not be done atomically.     Even certain large telcos have had 
problems with this.

How about running multiple servers, one for each supported but 
incompatible version of the client software?  You could use a common 
primary server/URL with redirects to the version-specific server.
