I have just pushed the new code to the repo and updated the upgrade steps accordingly:

create a backup

git checkout 5.0RC your core and addons repository

make sure all DB updates (especially 1236) have been successfully applied

execute php util/z6convert.php dry-run from the terminal for a dry run (no data will be modified with this option)

execute php util/z6convert.php from the terminal to do the actual upgrade of the data

We are now at RC1 :slight_smile:
