I just upgraded from an old version of gnucash to

gnucash-2.4.15-4.el6.x86_64

This on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 (x86_64) system.
I had to also download the following:

aqbanking-5.5.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
xmlsec1-1.2.20-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
xmlsec1-gcrypt-1.2.20-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
xmlsec1-gnutls-1.2.20-4.el6.x86_64.rpm

I do not know what the previous version I used, but the upgrade went
without a hitch, once I determined and got the additional dependencies.

I did not specifically save my gnucash database because my system is set
up to do a total backup every night, so I was safe if I wanted to go back.

But you should have access to a very recent backup before you try this,
just in case.

I did notice any changes.
