migration from 3.5.2 to magnolia 3.6

Hi List

I am planning on migrating our 3.5.2 to 3.6 because of some issues we have.

Does anyone of you has already made a migration and can tell me if it is save to do so? How is the migration done,
is there a possibility to "reuse" the existing databases (mysql) or do I have to make a fresh bootstrap and
export / import the data via XML?

Thanks for any input

Claudio
