Just updated my Pi to 4.7.0 from 4.5.1 with Belchertown skin 1.2 (with my extra pages and Aus BOM forecasts) without any hassles, all looks good so far

I updated my 4.4.0 install on a RPi3b to a fresh 64bit RPlite install.  So far everything looks good.  I did encounter one small issue. Since this was a completely clean install I had to set up the start up scripts to launch WeeWx when the RPi reboots.  I install my weewx folder on an NFS mounted directory to my NAS that is not /home.  I updated my setup.cfg to point the home directory to proper location, but it appears that the home directory gets updated everywhere except the example startup scripts for systemd and init.d.  Those still need to get manually updated if your home directory is different than the default.

Other than that, it was a smooth update.

Thanks
Scott
