Now running 2.1 RTM
I had to upgrade this afternoon when I fixed a problem that stopped trackbacks working on the B2 that I was running. Unfortunately, the fix broke the single post page completely and no amount of fiddling with the siteurls.config would fix it.
So I performed my first site upgrade, from B2 to RTM without preperation.
After all, Dave had just linked to me, the site had better be live!
Luckily, I had WinMerge. This tool rocks for this type of thing. I downloaded the web install RTM and unzipped it into a new folder, opened WinMerge and asked it to diff my local installation and the new folder. Within seconds it showed me the differences, and after opening the files it even allowed me to right click on the changes and move to my local file if necessary.
Then CuteFTP just as quickly uploaded just the changed files.
Wow. And I've heard some horror stories about upgrading.
