Yes, it should.
And contrary to what the website says, you don't have to uninstall the older

Do you really mean 2.3.9, which was a development version which had a crasher
bug ? Or did you mean 2.2.9, the last previous stable release ?
It doesn't matter for the installation though. As others have said, the data
file won't be touched and is compatible.
