Upgrade 5.6 fatal error

Permalink
Hi - I have just tried to upgrade my 5.5 site to 5.6 and the install happened but then on going to the home page I get this.

Fatal error: Class 'GLobalArea' not found in /home/redbackd/public_html/egremont/themes/default/elements/header.php on line 36


I have a banner slideshow that is being called from header.php here is the code although I thought this was a standard piece of code for C5 global areas.

<?php 
   $a = new GlobalArea('Main Banner Slideshow');
   $a->setBlockLimit(1);
    $a->display($c);
   ?>


Any ideas I do wish these upgrades were more stable it takes so much time troubleshooting these issues to say nothing of the down time. I really don't want to have to roll back any ideas anyone PLEEEASE??

Ensure that the "L" in Global is lowercase ...

Just wanted to pop in and say we are getting this too. Where we used global areas in themes (which we've done quite a bit since their introduction) in the past it was globalArea and now it appears it must be GlobalArea

Before I changed to the uppercase "G" I was getting a error of doPageReindexing not defined in the console. It didn't seem to have anything to do with anything in the GlobalArea which really threw me for a loop for a while.

Is there going to be a patch or anything to support the ol' globalArea or will we need to go into each theme before updating and do it manually and if so, will the stacks inside those global areas become detached because of the change?
