Are there any general upgrade guidelines to follow from Appway 5.2.x to 5.3?

Here is my take on the upgrade procedure 5.2.3.x to 5.3.x:

1.) create a backup of the exiting 5.2.3.x installation
2.) In the online Standalone builder, select the Extensions required and download a fresh version of 5.3.x into a local temp location.
3.) replace in the Appway home directory ROOT.war (the Appway web application) and appway.jar (security providers) with new versions
4.) replace the Extensions from AppwayHome/data/adapters. Make sure to replace the .jar files only, any .cfg files should remain original
5.) Start Appway
6.) Validate that Appway version number has been updated in Administration -> System -> Overview
7.) Validate that Extension version numbers have been updated in Extensions -> Version tab

In case of any artifacts generated by Appway (e.g. WebServices), existing business objects should be trashed from the project and re-generated with the current version.
