We have extensive documentation and webinars on how to upgrade from 0.8.x to InfluxDB 0.13. There are a number of breaking changes to the API, write protocol, query language, storage engine, and administrative tools. It is not a trivial upgrade, and requires exporting all the data from 0.8.x and re-importing it into InfluxDB 0.13.
Please see the Migration white paper on https://influxdata.com/technical-papers/ and the Migration webinar video on https://influxdata.com/videos-training/.
