So, any versions after 7.2.42 were WCG-only.

There are a few things that go into our release of the BOINC agent which we do contribute back to the BOINC developers. We are in contact with them and have shared a few meals together over the many years.
Our agent has the WCG skin is one main notice. The second is that the approved version by us has been code checked by a seperate security team for vunerabilities. That is why WCG has recommended versions that may differ then the ones on the BOINC website. As for version x.42 and x.47, we did lots of testing of the agent and fixed a screen saver issue on windows that I believe was a problem on upgrading from an older version of the WCG agent. Hope this helps clear up some of the questions. Thanks, -Uplinger |

To summarize: although there're differences between 7.2.42 and 7.2.47 obviously nobody or not too many people are suffering from this. Thanks for all the replies to this thread, let's close this topic.
