1) Uninstall the old version. The data directory will *not* be
uninstalled, so your data is safe.
2) Install the new version. Specify the old data directory for the new
installation, and chose *not* to initdb.
That's allt here is to it, really. Of course, do a pg_dump before you
start in case anything goes wrong. But if things go right, it should not
be needed.
