First I would like to say that I started with Umbraco a little ago after a lot of years on .NET development and interaction design. I've been a C# MVP and actually researching on how to simplify interactions for CMS and users in general. Umbraco is really nice and simple, both on the development side and user side, but I have one question that bears my mind constantly.
What happens when you want to upgrade a package to a newer version and you have already created content using datatypes within that package?
One of the examples is uComponents, if I'm using version 2.0.1 and want to upload a newer version would it break all the content? How should I proceed to upgrade? Uninstall the actual package first and install the new one? Install the new one and update datatypes each of the document types?
Don't really understand the process of this "upgrading" or if it would break content/documenttypes/datatypes :S
How is upgrading packages working?

Thanks a lot!!
