I usually just build the new version on top of the old. That works as long
as you didn't install via package manager and direct source build, since
one usually installs in /usr/bin and the other in /opt/owfs/bin
The only other gotcha is that linux won't load the new shared library as
long as any of the owfs programs (owserver, owhttpd, owftpd, owfs, owperl,
...) are still running, pinning the old library version in memory. One they
are all closed, the new library can be loaded. A reboot is an easy way to
ensure a clean slate, but it's not essential.
