The following download is provided for those users who do not want to overwrite all of the files in their Drupal 6.11 installation. Using a file comparison utility, the following zip file contains only the date modified files for the latest release of Drupal 6.12.

Upload the new files to your Drupal site, then log into your site as the administrator and run update.php.

After running update.php, your style="COLOR: rgb(0,51,102)">Available Updates and Status Report functions will indicate that you are running the latest Drupal release version.

Thanks, that helped a ton. Why can't Drupal provide something like this? It's so much easier, but I guess it might cause some problems if people think they can upgrade two versions at a time.

Yes thanks also, I used it to fixup missed files from CVS update — http://drupal.org/node/464764

Is there a correct way to upgrade?

I was running 6.11 and got the notice to upgrade. I downloaded unzipped and ftp up to the site. But the admin tool does not seem to recognize that I've upgraded and keeps indicating that I need to upgrae to 6.12.

Are there instructions on how to do this correctly somewhere? Any ideas why my release upgrade seems to not have worked?

OK, I put my thinking cap on and read upgrade.txt.

And the instructions are at: http://drupal.org/node/287824

After uploading the new Drupal 6.12 files to your web server, log into your site as the administrator and run the update.php file.

This way your Available Updates and Status Report functions will indicate that you are running Drupal 6.12.

I used this method, thanks. Must have done something wrong because after I updated all the files, I loaded the page and it took FOREVER. My stylesheets seem to be gone (my theme had no updates). I went to admin and it shows update.php as protected, but I am logged in. There was no way to run update.php. Any ideas what I might've done wrong? www.ontargetpro.com

Well, it was the common.inc file. When I restored the old one, everything came back fine. Now I just don't have that file upgraded.
