Thanks for the info.  That's exactly what I wanted to find out.

Yes or no, you choose (:-))

Boinc itself must be upgraded manually by you.

The various clients for Boinc normally update themselves automatically.
However, you can switch the client auto-updates off. A project server
can refuse to serve WUs if a client is considered too old.


If you are really worried about the Boinc client auto-updates, then
perhaps your system is too mission critical to run Boinc (or any other)
DC projects.

Happy crunchin',
