Those figures caused a sharp intake of breath, but I am always one to 'take a risk'. So I did. Any 'nasties' emerging from this upgrade will be itemised as separate entries elsewhere!
Theme upgrades are defined manually now, when there's a need.
A lot of files got altered in this one as there were some cleanups to the text file format of many files, stemming from a long time ago. It's nothing to worry about – it just led to a large file change count.
Tomorrow will be slow attending to this. The Electric-man cometh, and then it is England's turn to try and put on a similar Houdini-act to the one Portugal performed tonight in Euro2012. Fingers crossed. And if any of our cousins from across the pond refer to this as 'soccer', I will not be held responsible for any outburst that might follow!

I've invariably (precise use of the word - not 'often' or 'sometimes') used the automated 'upgrade' page and extracted the TAR link.
I tried to upgrade from 8RC6 to 8.1.1 for my DEMO site and the tool told me it didn't recognise '8RC6'. So, I went looking for the manual version, but couldn't find it. Also, when I eventually managed to get the upgrade going, it identified outdated files that needed to be replaced from the manual download via FTP. Duhhhhhh! Where is it?
Edit: Belay all that. I've found it under 'Downloads'. I just have to change my work ethic and look somewhere else for the file in future!
