I have seen one report by a user that he lost templates when updating; it
may be that all he has lost are the links to the templates. The
dictionary.lst file will be overwritten and, evidently, there can be
problems with dictionaries. I understand that issues have been filed about
the dictionary problems.
I suggest you back up any files containing data or settings and any files
you have customised. You should back up your user settings folder regularly
because otherwise, if the folder goes awry, you have to create a new folder,
which means you begin again with all those nasty default settings.
