I just took the risk of upgrading to 8.11 alpha on this quiet sunday morning. And I noticed the upgrade itself created some errors. For example some files could not be moved (I suppose to backup) and when I refreshed my ndex page I saw some php code . I then reminded myself for chmodding the template_c directory to 0777 zo it was writable and that was the solution.

Besides sharing my sunday morning experience of upgrading: is it not an idea to implement a chmod for some important directories in the install script? Besides a easier install, it could prevent security issues of people having some directories still 0777 while not necessary.

!(0.8) Bug: When upgrading from 0.7 to 0.8, the new templates_c directory won't get sufficient write permissions and smarty will throw a warning after upgrade is complete.

Kind of aware of it already. ;)

oops missed it
