Play framework, upgrade project to latest version

Question

I try to search around but I couldn't find how to upgrade a playframework project to the latest playframework version.

For example my project has been created using playframework 2.3.4 and I wish to upgrade to 2.3.7.

Thanks.

If you're only upgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.3.7, literally all you should need to do is change the play version in your plugins.sbt file to 2.3.7.

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.3.7")

And I guess for good measure run activator clean.

It's only a minor version upgrade, so between 2.3.x versions there are no breaking changes--only minor feature additions and bug fixes.
