Migrating from OH2 beta to OH2 release

[manjestic (Paul Mancini)]

Running OH2 beta on RPi, installed from online distribution via apt. Want to move to OH2 release. Must I remove the former or install right over? Advice please.

install right over

Use apt-get install openhab2. It will automatically replace your existing OH2 Beta deployment, keeping your personal configs. Take a backup first (also of your HABPanel config).

openHAB 2.0.0 Release Candidate

.b5 will have online and offline variants, but these have been since merged into one for RC1 and up and no new version of offline/online exists. To upgrade, you should only need apt-get install openhab2 which will remove the old version automatically. From then on, upgrade will work as you intend.
