Silly question for some but...

I need to upgrade from v3-0-2 to v3-0-3 is this a simple process of copying the latest files into relevant folders (over writing files) ?
I dont see any info on how to UPGRADE in install.txt file.

Obviously I will back up the database and config.php (as well as template files).

Please advise (recommend) on upgrade process.

Thanks

1. Make a backup of everything (db and files)
2. Overwrite all files except includes/config.php with the new package
3. Run through all the steps of the install process (yoursite.com/install) clicking next, next, next til complete. This updates the database.
4. Copy over any customizations you made to the template files

Done.

Highly recommended that you work with copies of your originals, so that you don't stuck in the middle with a problem.
