I believe TruXoft only compatible up to 5.3.12 or so. Probably have to wait...

Tried a 5.2.13 reinstall, selected the "repair" option, and now I'm back up and running. Phew!
Some of the Changes in

Some of the Changes in 5.4.9:
A different port number, only port 31416 is used. This to prevent hijacking the port number by the OS or other applications and BOINC Manager saying it can't contact the client.
The traffic you see on your firewall is because the Boinc Manager's Task tab is now updated every second. So each second, Boinc.exe and Boincmgr.exe communicate with eachother. (Note: Leaving Boinc Manager open on the Tasks tab, when you have over 0.5 days worth of queue can take up some CPU cycles due to the refresh.)
The screensaver will now also give an RPC out, so your firewall software knows it is starting. This to prevent a hanging screensaver when you try to return to the desktop.
In case of a client_state.xml file corruption, due to you needing to reboot or a crashing OS, upon the next start of BOINC, the client_state.xml file is checked. If found corrupt, it's discarded and the contents of client_state_prev.xml is used to startup with.
New statistics.
New names for several menu items.
New and clearer error messaging. Some errors are now just warnings.
You can use the Account Manager. At this moment only BAM is semi-live: http://bam.boincstats.com (registration is closed again)
Network tracing built into the client. (see version details)
JM7 fixed several bugs in the work scheduler.
Further available changes in the version details.

Great work.

RE: Although Boinc 5.4.9

Did you or BOINC rebenchmark between versions? That will change your credits claimed if you benchmarked a lower "score" under 5.4.9.
4.19 claims to much credit,

4.19 claims to much credit, this was already fix with the version 5.2.13

RE: Did you or BOINC

@nevermorestr.
Boinc did the rebench.
@Joachim
I always used boinc 4.19 because i didn't like the other versions until ver.5.4.9 (just a personal taste)
Sorry for the late response.
