As XenForo 1.3 introduces many new features and functions, as is typical with a second point release, there are several specific things which need to be considered when upgrading.
Take a backup of the database before you do anything!

Your server meets all of XenForo's PHP requirements.
XenForo also requires MySQL 5.0 or newer. Please manually check that you meet this requirement.
Your server has disabled core PHP functions. This may cause unexpected problems in XenForo. All PHP functions should be enabled.
These may affect the proper execution of XenForo at times and should be ideally be resolved.
Something has changed in the system requirements?
Those are warnings, not a completely missing dependency. It may not affect anything, but it's hard to guarantee.
Looks like everything is working. Although this is just a test forum.
This will likely be from an add-on that has added conflicting data to the DB. I suspect it's smilie related. You may need to revert to your backup and remove the offending add-on (and hopefully it actually removes the DB column it added...).
@Bryan Gilchrist, can you let us know which smiley related add-ons you have installed and which one is conflicting so I can update the resource?
May be you will have to drop your previous "display_order " field.
That's always a subjective issue as add-ons almost always have slightly different functionality so continue to be used.
I prefer to leave it up to the individuals using those add-ons to make the decision for themselves.
A quick look at the HYS threads will make it clear what new features and functionality are coming in 1.3.
I just uninstalled the Smiley Manager, that seemed to fix it.
Not for me. I will run the queries later.
If you have a custom style it is highly likely that it will not work in 1.3 and will require updating. If the style is from a third party, ensure there is a new compatible release before you upgrade otherwise you will need to wait until the author releases an update.
why is that? I have a custom design, that was built on 1.2, you are saying it wont work if I upgrade?
I have a custom design and nothing happened when upgrading form 1.2 (nor I see what would anything happen since nothing design wise was changed [like the responsive design implementation in 1.2]).
yes, thats what I was thinking. XF implemented template merge system, specially for this reason. I think author needs to be more specific about this point.
There are changes in 1.3, nothing like as much as 1.2 but you will still need to check.
Unless you revert or merge the changes, it won't work as designed.
So yes, you still need to check and carry out specific actions.
Any possibility of showing what the "core functions" that are missing are? My servers were working just fine (and passed all checks) on 1.2 but I just got this warning when upgrading to 1.3 BETA 1.
