Per the FAQ in the Wiki, only upgrading from one major to the next

However, 2.6.21 > 4.2 *might* result in issues which *may* include
data loss or corruption. (no guarantees either way) You might get
lucky, you might not. You might not, and not realize it for some time
depending on the nature of the corruption/loss.
Properly upgrading *should* result in custom reports and other
settings being migrated properly. There were some migration issues
with the early 3.x series, but that was solved at some point. (not
sure of the cutoff release, see release notes starting with 3.0 till
about 3.3 or so if curious.)
*Also per the FAQ and the Wiki, after opening your data file for the
first time with each new major version, you should run Action > Check
& Repair > Check & Repair All to make sure your book is adjusted to
reflect any changes to how GnuCash internally records data. *This also
can prevent previous versions from reading the file after this point.
(this will vary by book, according to what features you were using in
the prior edition) The release notes for 3.0 and 4.0 should detail
these changes.

I did run Chreck&Repair All, and it had no complaints. It took a while,
though.
