Hi,

All these questions should have been asked on the gnucash-user mailing
list.  The gnucash-devel list is for development questions, none of
which these are...

I've set this mail to reply to gnucash-user.

You don't have to do anything.

Reconciling is there to help you make sure you didn't miss anything by
matching balances and transactions between GnuCash and your printed
statements.  You can choose not to reconcile if you wish.

Just upgrade.  The data files are compatible between 2.2 and 2.4.  At
worst you may need to File -> Open the data file and reset some
preferences after the upgrade.

If you're really afraid, backup your data first.

Personally, I would do nothing.
