It's always a good practice to take backups of your database before
stepping up a point, even though upgrading to the next point release
doesn't necessitate a restore. Still, I'm sure you did that. :-)

point release notes with plenty of noisy warnings. But a point release is
just a "tidy-up" of the previous point release. It doesn't change the
on-disk structure or alter what the engine does to databases (other than
stopping it from doing something it ought not to have been doing, of course).
