Just wondering if there is a way to jump from 2.4.2 to 2.4.4 directly ?

I really don't have courage to install everything from fresh, especially when it comes to loading all items, customers, suppliers and so on.

I would be thankful if someone could direct me with what files needs updating.

Thank you,
GJ

Thank you for keeping track of so many things.
I got bit busy with the daily work on business in my 2.4.2 version, which I have implement for running accounts.
But I've been reading the posts and updates and so thank you very much for including point 7 above, along with everything else.

I am hoping to switch to 2.4.3 once few of the below are updated, and I hope I can do that using your post which suggests copying the new files from 2.4.3 to older 2.4.2 installation directly.

Regards and thanks
GJ
