Some links to recent questions and answers/hints about the update process, I'll try to extract some information from it:
Backup your files and database
Download current distribution as zip-file from Github
Use FTP/SCP to replace your current files (be careful with files probably modified by yourself in /template/inc_default
and /template/inc_cntpart
)
Login to the backend (database is automatically updated since version x.x.x)
Manually update conf.inc.php
by comparing to dist.conf.inc.php

Never use [PHP]
anymore, replace such usages

@slackero What do you think, anything missing?
I wouldn't replace template
at all, instead compare with winmerge what is missing.
How do I upgrade an existing installation of phpwcms to the latest version? This is an essential part of every software and I would like to see some regularly updated official documentation, ideally as
UPDATE.md
in the repository or at least in the Github Wiki.Perfect would be an autoupdater similar to what Wordpress does.
