Any issues there? Or should I move to 4.3.2 first?? I don't want to wait too long, but I also don't want to move to something (4.3.2) that will be obsolete soon (and I'm looking ahead to v5 of course and the migration path to that from 4.3.2 or 4.4 ...).
Thanks,

Hi Paul,
I'm just another X-cart user - Sergey and others have final say-so. But, I've skipped X-cart versions as well and I've been able to upgrade via a fresh install of the latest version and Qualteam has upgraded my DB for me. I suspect that this would be your upgrade path as well.
I would absolutely suggest that your host provider make a backup copy of your DB before you let Qualteam touch it. Example: I installed a copy of my previous cart (old version) on my server in another folder, and moved my old DB to that installation as a backup. This isn't public-facing, no one has access to this cart but me - but it's a working backup, just in case.
Finally, I do not plan to touch V5 for at least 6 to 12 months AFTER it is released. It's sorta like buying a new car in it's first production year; wait until the product has been refined a bit before using it.
