The pull request changes the NSR denomination so that 1 NEW-NSR = 10000 "old" NSR.
It's not a protocol change, it only changes how NSR are displayed and interpreted in the client.
To upgrade:
Before you shut down the client, remove the configured data feed.
Shutdown the previous version
Backup
If you have a nu.conf or if you run the client with command line options:
if there's a reservebalance option update its amount (divide by 10,000)
if there's a splitshareoutputs option update its amount (divide by 10,000)
If you synchronize amounts between the client and anything else (a database, a script, etc.), update them to use the new denomination. For example you may want to divide all NSR amounts by 10,000 in your exchange database or block explorer. If you have scripts that send NSR, divide all the amounts by 10,000. Etc.
Run the new version
If you want to set a data feed, make sure the provider generates NSR amounts with the new denomination
Be very careful when you send amounts. Exchanges and other persons may still run the previous version and ask for 10,000 more NSR than what you want to send
