\nThere have been a huge number of changes (500 +) in the core. Studying Trac will show you all the changes if you are keen on reading that. There is not and will not be a changelog here. It is highly recommended that you fully replace the core files.<\/p>\n
\nHave a read:

\nThere have been significant changes to the user levels. If you have different users, you must<\/strong> satisfy yourself how this will affect your blog. If you run any sort of plugin that restricts what different users see or can do depending on their level you must be confident about the upgrade. Check everything – do not come back here complaining about user levels if you have not checked and made absolutely sure you know exactly what will happen. The place you need to check is https:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Roles_and_Capabilities<\/p>\n

\nCheck FIRST. Please don’t upgrade and then<\/em> say the plugins do not work. There are many plugins that break. Check first and if you need to contact the author, ask nicely \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
\nDeactivate plugins before upgrading. If you do not you may get errors and the advice here will be to delete those plugins. Your choice.<\/p>\n
\nIf you experience any, post to this thread. Please give us lots of information such as:
\nYour site
\nYour host
\nThe precise error
\nWhat you have done to try and mend the blog
