Proper upgrade procedure from EAP Controller 2.4.8 to 2.5.3 on Linux

Model : EAP245
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi. I've been successfully running EAP controller software 2.4.8 for a few months now on (k)ubuntu 14.04. I'm considering upgrading to to 2.5.3, which would be my first upgrade. I have 2 APs (EAP225 and EAP245) in my environment. A couple questions about the upgrade.
[*]Do I need to uninstall 2.4.8 first (and create a backup config) or can I just run the installation for 2.5.3?
[*]Will I have to reconfigure anything other than the portal?
[*]Anything else I should know before upgrading?
I'm mostly an if it ain't broke kind of person with important software. It looks like from the notes I wouldn't get a lot out of this upgrade (I use portal, but I wouldn't use the new features in this release). But if there are security fixes, or this makes it potentially easier to upgrade to other releases then I want to stay current, but I don't want to mess up my currently very stable config. Has this release been stable for folks? Any new features/bugs not in the notes you may guys have discovered?
Thanks!

Does having a accurate map make a difference in regards to performance or is it just used for visual identification of APs?
Also I haven't found a way to upload multiple maps ie different floors.

Maps are just eye candy, not related to performance of the APs.
Also I haven't found a way to upload multiple maps ie different floors.
Just add more maps and name them appropriately (e.g. 1st floor, 2nd floor etc.)

Did an uninstall and reinstall. Same problem. Next thought is to uninstall, blow away the directory structure, install, and manually import the configuration from a backup .bin. For some other day...

For whatever it is worth I solved the map problem. I decided to dig a bit more into the code using standard chromium inspection tools. After following the code a bit I found the jave exception being thrown when the map page comes up. getMapFile was throwing a
java.io.FileNotFoundException for all 3 of my map files, even though I had copied them into the
/opt/tplink/EAPController/data/map/ directory. But for some reason, the code was looking for the filenames of the map files I uploaded prepended with a Unix epoch timestamp (e.g.
1513197133220_MainFloor.jpg -- I had named the file MainFloor.jpg). I traced to find the name it was looking for each of my map files and then changed the names and all is working again. Not sure where the name change came in. I didn't name them that way in the old installation, but perhaps the names were changed after upload? But it didn't backup the files in a tarball either so who knows what happened.
Anybody know when Omada 2.6.0 for Linux is coming out?

Yes, the names are being changed by the Controller.

Still not sure why those weren't backed up in the tarball, and not sure why if it can't find the map files it is looking for it fails to a point that it disables the functionality to add or replace the files via the web interface. Opportunities for improvement, I guess.
