Up2Date availability 1.74x -> 1.79x

After careful consideration, we have decided NOT to release an Up2Date package for upgrading from the 1.74 series to the 1.79 series. The reason is that the changes in the internal structure of the distribution were just too numerous to ensure a smooth Up2Date process. The Up2Date feature was developed for smaller (mostly security) fixes, and does not scale too well for very large (e.g.> 30MB) changes like major feature upgrades.
