[GNC] Upgrading GnuCash

[Adrien Monteleone]

Upgrading is only supported between minor, and between consecutive major 
versions.

Thus 2.6.x > 4.x is *not* supported.

Be careful, maybe you got lucky, maybe you didn't and just don't find an 
issue yet.

It is also recommended to run Action > Check & Repair > Check & Repair 
All after opening the file for the first time post upgrade. (for each 
major version upgrade.)

Adrien
