(a) changed global option default value for item field creation to always create field display in item view

Maybe it is possible to upgrade sites
that you can restore from backup (e.g. with Akeeba Backup), please note that if you have patched the v1.5.4 or v1.5.5 , it is better to restore your site with Akeeba because by reinstalling v1.5.4 you will not get your patches back.
