TOPIC: ok to upgrade directly from 2.5.2a to latest version?

it's always a good idea to back up before making big changes, but I had to wing it and all went fine.
After uninstall/install I just had to go in and add the selection limits, update a few little changes I have in the language file and put the custom icons I use for individual & group back in the image folder and it was all done in about 40 minutes (I know, I'm a bit slow).
