[GNC] New update

[David Cousens]

No assurances but unlikely unless updating from one major verion to
another, i.e 4.x -> 5.y. File format changes when they occur are
generally at the major version updates.  If you are going from 5.x_->
5.y, there are unlikely to be any problems. The location of user
preference files and stored reports etc has changed at times.

Keep a separate backup copy of the data files and the config files when
updating for safety  and you can always recover. Config file locations
are given in the wiki
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations).
