@mariana I think that for the automatic updater to recognise that there is a new release the file https://download.phplist.org/version.json needs to be updated.

Currently it is showing 3.6.2 as the latest release.

Just try to install and got the following errors:
Auto-update get stuck with:

The update has been downloaded!
Downgrade is not supported.

Manually downloaded and upgraded as per instructions and after adding the config back have a blank page.

Will have to revert back to previous installation.
