from http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/upgrading/old-versionsAlso, due to the upgrading of the Smarty Template Engine, the requirements of Global Content Block (GCB) names have been changed.
Only letters, numbers and an underscore are allowed now:
{global_content name='SomeName'}
{global_content name='some_name'}
{global_content name='somename1'}
If you have other characters in your GCB names, no warning will be given while upgrading. You will notice it when you change and save the GCB. To avoid problems later, check the names after the upgrade process is complete.
Look in Layout -> Templates, view each template to see where your GCBs are called. Rename them without disallowed characters.
