Hey guys,  
  
  
  
Just installed Mautic, it looks awesome!  
  
However I installed 2.1.0 and I just see 2.1.1 is out with a security release so I obviously want to upgrade asap…  
  
  
  
Now using the automatic way doesn’t work because I’m not setting all folders to writable for php (that by itself is just not good security practice) so looks I need to update manually.  
  
  
  
So before I do just wanted to make sure:

- can I just unpack 2.1.1.zip and overwrite all files?  
  
  
  
I didn’t find any documention about manual upgrading on the site ![:(]( ":(")  
  
  
  
Thanks!

I didn’t find any documention about manual upgrading on the site ☹
