You should always run the database_update.php file. But, at the moment, you can't use the automatic updater to go from 1>3 but I think that might be changed in RC4.

Unfortunately not. The automatic updater just tells you that 2 isn't the latest version and won't do anything.
Oh.
Guess you learn something new every day...
As an afterthought, I wonder if it would be possible to use the changed files package to trick the updater into doing a 1->3 update? Although this would probably be pointless; you may as well just use the changed files package if you're going to get hold of it.
If I understood correctly, the automatic updater was “broken” and has been fixed, so that in the future it will be possible to use prior updates in a step-by-step fashion (e.g., RC1 to RC2, RC2 to RC3, RC3 to RC4).
