[GNC] Updating gnucash

[Adrien Monteleone]

In addition to the advice given by the other replies, it is advised to 
run Actions > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All when first opening a 
file after an upgrade between major releases.

These checks and repairs are supposed to run automatically, but that 
doesn't always go smoothly or completely for everyone, hence the 
recommendation to do so manually.

The only other concern with an upgrade would be if you had custom 
reports that use deprecated code in the new version. But this is rare. 
By 'custom' I mean either you, or someone for you, coded them in Scheme. 
I'm not referring to merely Saved Configurations of included reports.

Regards,
Adrien
