1st NBD on TalkBass!

Well, technically I got it 3 days ago, and it's used, but I love this thing! 30" scale, and the Fishman electronics are surprisingly good.
Question: of course I want to put on new strings, polish the frets and the fretboard is dry enough to need a little oil. Do I have to do anything different with the acoustic if I pull all the strings at once? Loosen the truss a little as I release string tension?
I know the usual answers, just wasn't sure if I should handle the acoustic in a special manner.
