Tutorial on how to upgrade

[geostant]

Hey,

 

I've PS 1.5.2 and notice that there is a newer version,

first, is there any important improvements on the newer version ?

second, where can I find a tutorial on how to upgrade and especially how to backup to roll back in case of a disaster.

 

 

Thanks !
