With a security update and patches coming in rapid succession, many Drupalers may have missed that another Drupal update was released a couple of days ago. Drupal 4.6.5 incorporates several little patches that are not security related, but do address some functionality quirks.
Easy update: Simply upload to your Drupal 4.6.4 installation the changelog and the /modules and /includes directories, replacing all files. There were no database changes. (And if you're running an older version, check for security updates. Same goes for CivicSpace users.)

Hi Laura. I used your previous instructions to save a lot of time and headaches updating to 4.6.4, so thanks for those! I decided to try the same general concept for a quick and painless updates to 4.6.5. To decide what to copy, I did a diff -ur between the 4.6.4 and 4.6.5 trees. I found a new line in database/updates.inc, so I included that file as well. Don't know if it matters or not, but I did include that file when updating to 4.6.5 on the Drupal sites that I maintain.

I missed that. Thanks for catching it!
For this update (4.6.4 to 4.6.5), there are no database changes so I believe that file would only be needed if one is upgrading from 4.5.x or the first release of 4.6.0. (If I'm wrong, and the file is used for other module updates, someone please let me know!)

Thanks for this, I was confused by the upgrade notes included in the offical bin, not being technically minded, and so found these very helpful.
