Auto upgrade mysql & php

[Geckom]

Does plesk ever upgrade mysql or php? Either to minor or major versions.

We currently have the latest plesk with auto updates and php is currently on 5.1. We are trying to work out an upgrade plan if one is even required.

Should we be manually upgrading theses or just letting plesk handle it all.

If we should be manually upgrading which other packages should we upgrade?

Plesk doesn't ship client's PHP, it only downloads it from original OS vendor repo and it is quite likely it may be outdated there (especially for older OS). If your OS comes with newest version of PHP, then Plesk would run this version of PHP for clients.
