Help with upgrade to 2.1.2

Hi,
I'm still learning how Vanilla works. Sorry if my question is obvious.
I installed Vanilla 2.1.1 one week before the release of 2.1.2.
I did a test on localhost to upgrade following the tutorial of docs page. It don't work.
What should I do to upgrade 2.1.1 to 2.1.2?
Thanks in advance!

since you read the docs, you should be able to troubleshoot and explain the error you get.

it is not in the readme - as far as i could tell.
delete /applications/dashboard/views/default.master.php (Do NOT delete default.master.tpl)
if you have done all that and have an error message post it, and we can help further.
always good to read installation instructions, troubleshooting instructions, and documentation.
then read this.... if you have js errors with global.js

I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
Ok. Thanks for the help! The main question is about my database. Should I delete the new one (after upgrade) and restore the old?
I had problems with the menu too, I think it's the global.js issue. I will read this links now! Thank you!
you Don't touch the database (no need to delete or restore) just copy the source over. see the upgrade instructions....

Thank you for the help peregrine! Now everything it's ok!
I had a problem with my menu after update, but I used the global.js that you posted and everything it's ok. I made this test on localhost. Should I wait 2.1.3 to install on my server?
Thanks!
To be super safe just use the global.js from 2.1.1 and the rest from 2..1.2
that said I don't see any issues with the global.js fix I suggested, time will tell and the developers might have some answers.
