Wow...

Um...

Backup first.

There are a lot of changes, I'm pretty sure the database should upgrade all the way to 0.8.7.

Patience is a virtue. The upgrade will create a new database. You may have to re-upgrade a few times, the new database, before all will go 100%. However, as Tony mentioned, backup.

Also, I would dump you database and dry run it a few times on another box.

If you apply the files, you do not need to patch. However, you will need to modify include/global.php to include your web path and add any plugins.
