Hi all.
What will the upgrade process from 1.13.0rc1 to final look like? Will replacing a couple of changed files (from the distribution) suffice?

It'll probably look the same as the upgrade process for every release < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading%3E.
If you just wanted to replace what changed, you could use the patch file, except that patch files haven't been included alongside releases after 1.11. I assume that this is intentional, though I don't know the reason for it.

That surprises me!
From the last release candidate to the release, I would expect only very minor
changes ...

You're right: There only changes will probably be a few backported fixes. The standard upgrade procedure remains unchanged, however. You could replace the changed files yourself, but that would be needlessly risky and probably more trouble than it's worth. (As I said, it might be handier for you if you could just apply a patch, but that may not be an option.)
