There is no need to redo existing template modifications to upgrade. The upgrade instructions are in the first post, or two posts above yours.

The only change in the template modification instructions is a change in the way that the post count digits are accessed, but the old way still works. While there is more information made available in the profile or for the logged in user, there are no template edits provided to utilize these (though information on writing your own exists); these features were requested by people with templating experiance or using non-standard templates.
