It does not do that. However, any project using BOINC will have their applications automatically download the newest, updated version for processing. You have to still manually upgrade the BOINC CC.

I don't believe it will for right now. I took a look at the BOINC Taskbase and I didn't see it listed. It's a good thing to keep an eye on to see what exactly they're working on, when and if any fixes will be implemented. Take a look:

I don't think it will ever update itself [BOINC]
I have seen too many post by IT [network Administrators] there network will not allow the main client do an automatic update.
The application does not install it just runs [without a setup]
