# Theme update hook?

 * Is there a hook I can use to update theme options just after the user updates
   the theme from an older version to newer version?
 * I am working on an update to my theme… in the older version of the theme each
   option is an option (that is, a separate entry in the ‘wp_options’ database table)
   while the newer version stores every theme option as a single serialized entry
   in the database table.
 * So I want to check for the older theme options and store those in the serialized
   format just after the theme gets updated to the new version.
 * Is there a hook I can use to achieve this? If not what’s the best and tidy way
   of doing this?
