Hi Patrick,

If you're running 5.0.x then an upgrade to 5.0.7 shouldn't be 
significant (should be very straight forward) and will contain at least 
one major security fix since 5.0.1.

If you installed from git, you can just follow these instructions:

https://kamailio.org/docs/tutorials/5.0.x/kamailio-install-guide-git/#maintenance

If you want to migrate from 5.0.x to 5.1.x, there's a few extra commands 
to do (database changes for example if applicable):
