The reports I've seen so far indicate that upgrading from 1.8.x to 1.9.0
has been very smooth.
The only areas that were likely to cause issues are raised in the
README.txt file of 1.9.0. If you're coming from 1.7.4, I'd read the
various sections in the manual marked "Migration" or "Migrating", and
also look for information on upgrading to 1.8. From there, you'll be
fine.
The primary things to consider when upgrading to 1.8 were:
* Autoloader changes
* Refactoring to use Zend_Application (not necessary, but
future-proofs your code)
