OOo checks for updates (that feature can be disabled) but it won't upgrade by itself. And the upgrade is done by fully upgrading the application, no patch. I thought that patches would be a smart way to upgrade but after reading some discussions about that, it seems that it could introduce additional bugs. So it was less work for devs to deliver a better code with a complete package.
