1.3.9a -> 1.3.9b No Database Upgrade?

Just went through the install after merging my changes and it appears that everything went good. But I just wanted to verify that there is NO database upgrade needed to go from 1.3.9a to b

In that case I don't have to modify permissions for my configures or even touch the installer at all. Just patch and go.

I guess I still have to disable payment/shipping modules.

Re-run zc_install and upgrade DB only

As the configures do not need changing - Ignore the not writable warning

I run zc_install and there is no option for a database upgrade for 1.3.9a -> 1.3.9b under:
Please confirm your desired upgrade steps

If I choose database upgrade anyway it just recycles back to this page because I haven't chosen my desired upgrade steps

So either somethings missing from the installer.. or there is no upgrade needed for 1.3.9a -> b.

Maybe if I read it a little better:

Database Information -- Upgrade Sniffer predicts: *** No upgrade required ***

So I guess I'll listen to it and my gut.. and just skip the install.

THERE IS NO DATABASE UPGRADE NEEDED FOR v1.3.9a to v1.3.9b.
That's why there's no option for it, and also why the upgrade instructions in the 1.3.9b docs only talk about replacing files, and makes no mention of the database.

So why my site reads:
Zen Cart 1.3.9b
Database Patch Level: 1.3.9a??

Is it correct??
