It escapes me why people always try a shortcut to upgrade.
Unless you have a modded forum. It takes just as long to look for and replace just the files from the changed txt file as it does to just upload all the files.
When I upgraded from v7.5.6 to v7.5.7 took a whole whopping 20-30 minutes. From downloading/extracting the zip to ftp upload.
Now making a backup prior is another story.But that is just best practices.
Besides if this needed to alter tables you still would need to run the upgrade script.
For people that wish to preserve mods then you should use something like beyond compare.But for the complete forum folder and not rely on the change txt file.
I would never expect that SD nor Rick would list every single file. Just for the sake of the version in the comments.
Nor if there are just very minor changes.
