Description
Currently as it stands, users aren't following the upgrade procedures properly. After every single MyBB installation (with the exception of some security updates) the upgrade procedures should be run. This is so Templates and the database schema may be updated. It will also resync caches, and perform other miscellaneous actions pertinent to the maintenance of a MyBB forum.
The MyBB Support Team has identified a large portion of support threads are users not following the instructions and running the upgrade procedure. They then procedure to make support threads on the MyBB Support forums. A large amount of these threads may be voided if MyBB identified that a new version has been installed and that the upgrade script has not been run yet and showed a message telling the administrator to upgrade before they can continue viewing the forum. This insures integrity and concurrency of all MyBB 1.6 installations and beyond, as well as reducing the number of support requests at the same time.
While some limited releases may not require the upgrade script, it is always good to run the upgrade script anyway which will bring the database up-to-date if they forgot to run the upgrade script previously

In order to make sure on releases that don't require the upgrader, don't impose an error message some changes have been made to the system to improve that functionality.
Now it will only error if a new upgrade script exists that hasn't been run before or in the case of if you were < 1.6, it will give you an error to upgrade by default. This later case is represented if the "version_history" cache is false/null.

Well it's been about 3 months since Beta 2 and I haven't seen any support threads on this :P
Plus I haven't had any issues.
