And here is the upgrade instructions :

1) Upload all files in this package, overwriting the
existing files.
2) Update the module in system admin -> modules
3) Launch the following script at least one time :
http://www.example.com/modules/news/admin/upgrade.php

To be able to launch it, YOU MUST BE AN ADMIN OF THE NEWS
MODULE
Once this script has been launched, you can remove it but
it's not "vital"
4) If you are using a personalized template set (if you have
cloned it for example) :
Go in admin -> templates. Find the templates set you are
using, beside the name "News" click on the link named
"[List (11)]". Find the template called
"news_index.html" then press the link named "[Delete]".
In the next screen, when you see this question "Are you
sure that you want to delete this template data?"
validate by pressing "Yes". The previous screen will
reappears and you will see a yellow line, click on the
link named "[Generate]"

5) If you are using the default template set. First create
some test news then go on the part of your website where
your users can see the news (for example
http://www.example.com/modules/news). If you can see the
test news, come back to the admin part of your site. Go
in the news module's preferences and for the option named
"News Display Layout" select "By topic". Come back
to the visible part of your website
(http://www.example.com/modules/news).
If you can see your news, ignore the rest of this point,
else, if you can't see the news then, in
admin -> templates, beside the default template
set, click on the link named "Clone", give it a name then
go in admin -> preferences, select "General Settings" and
in the scrolling list called "Default template set",
select the template you have previously cloned.

If you are doing a fresh install, you don't have to do anything from the previous list.
