+Upgrading The Arsse is usually simple:
+
+1. Download the latest release
+2. Check the `UPGRADING` file for any special notes
+3. Stop the newsfeed refreshing service if it is running
+4. Extract the new version on top of the old one
+5. Ensure permissions are still correct
+6. Restart the newsfeed refreshing service
+
+By default The Arsse will perform any required database schema upgrades when the new version is executed, and release packages contain all newly required library dependencies. 
+
+Occasionally changes to Web server configuration have been required, when new protocols become supported; such changes are always explicit in the `UPGRADING` file
