Is that the client or the server? If it's the client, you should have no problems. The only potential problem will be if you have working copies on a shared drive (it's not recommended, but it happens) and other people who access these are using different versions.

If it's the server, you might need to upgrade any BDB repositories to FSFS.

Regardless, read the notes on the links that Stefan provided.
