So, it says (among other things) :-
The data format between major release can change. However, the GnuCash
developers try very hard to be as compatible as possible. Each major
series is normally at least compatible with the previous major series.
So, for example, if you have a data file created with 2.0.3, you
should be able to open this with 2.2.5. Skipping a major release may
cause issues though, and is not recommended. Instead, you are advised
to at least open and save your file in the intervening major release
first.
So, given that I'm going up just one major release I shouls be OK, but
running "Check & Repair" before doing anything else is a good idea.
