The update procedure is:

1. Export all data from your current OpenCms installation (as modules or DB
export)
2. Remove current OpenCms istallation (a backup is a good idea)
3. Install new OpenCms version with setup Wizard
4. Import your exported data again
5. (since this is still a development version) Fix what might have been
broken because of changes in the API 

Best Regards,
Alex.
