Thats why there are Changes files. If you would have read the 'Changes.conf' file (to be found in the Anope source directory) you would have known about every required and optionally needed config changes and you'd made all of our lives easier.
Always read the Changes files before upgrading. Every now and then there are options being added or removed in the config file, the language file(s) and also your SQL database can change every now and then.
Upgrading isn't simply compiling your software, copying it over the old version and hope things will work.
