Hi Anja,

Upgrade documentation are in changelogs, but I agree that it should be in one more visible place

3.3 -> 3.4
http://ez.no/download/ez_publish/changelogs/ez_publish_3_4/upgrading

3.4->3.5
http://ez.no/download/ez_publish/changelogs/ez_publish_3_5/upgrading

3.5->3.6
http://ez.no/download/ez_publish/changelogs/ez_publish_3_6/upgrading

3.6->3.7
eZ publish 3.7 has no new features and contains only a trivial SQL update and fixes in PHP files. Upgrading from 3.6.0 should be very easy.

For 3.7.x -> 3.7.x
Backing up the currently running site
The currently running site should be backed up, so if something goes wrong, it will be possible to to revert the changes. Make a copy of the entire eZ publish directory and the database file.

Unpacking the new release
Unpack the new eZ publish release in the root of your eZ publish installation. This operation will overwrite your old files, but override settings, designs and extensions will be kept.

3.a-b : the version of your existing eZ publish installation
3.x-y : the version you are upgrading to

Upgrading using an update package
For MySQL:
mysql -u <username> -p <password> <name_of_database> <
[...]/ezpublish-update-3.a-b-to-3.x-y/update/database/mysql/3.a/dbupdate-3.a-b-to-3.x.y.sql

For PostgreSQL:
psql -d <name_of_database> -U <name_of_dbowner> <
-f [...]/ezpublish-update-3.a-b-to-3.x-y/update/database/postgresql/3.a/dbupdate-3.a-b-to-3.x.y.sql

Clearing the caches
Clear all caches by running ./bin/shell/clearcache.sh --clear-all from within the root of the eZ publish directory. Thats it, your site should be properly upgraded.
