I've been reading the releases and upgrading guide but I'm a bit puzzled. It doesn't actually mention how it does the upgrade. I was reading https://docs.iredmail.org/upgrade.iredm … 1.8.0.html

Just for kicks, i ran 'bash ./iRedMail.sh' and it tells me 'my version is old.. download the latest..' and exits to prompt.

I checked the 'tools/' directory for any upgrade script but there is none. So what is the correct way to upgrade release by release ?
