Upgrading 8.3-rc1 to 8.3.20

I want to upgrade an 8.3-rc1 to 8.3.20 Win32 server (I cannot upgrade to
8.4 nor 9.1 because the client app doesn't support them). The question
is, is there a tutorial, or a step-by-step guide to to this?.

The usual way is to pg_dump the old one first, then restore it
afterwards into the new installation. I don't know, however, if you need
to do this in your case - generally you don't when moving to a minor
release of the same major version... the release notes for 8.3.0 should
say, I'd imagine.

He is using an RC-Release, so i'm not sure, but i think, he have to go
the long way (Backup & restore) and he can't go the short way (Minor
release update)
