why there are 2 versions of boinc?

Do you mean on the boinc download site ? - Boinc has released a new stable version (5.2.x), but the old stable version (4.x) will also be available for download.

Most project servers have been converted to v5 Boinc server software. Those projects that are still on v4 may require v4 Boinc clients still.


i thougt you  have to update the client automatic and only the correct
version can get and send units?

Automatic download are only for the science apps (seti@home, LHC, einstein@home,...) posilble. The boinc client must be installed and updated by hand.
You must differ betwen the scheduler (boinc) which do upload/download and scheduling of the different science apps.


Happy crunchin',
