Not a big issue, in fact I would say just the same as going from one
version of something to another: There might be odd niggles which cause
frustration but nothing to cause you to do any serious rewrites. You'll
just find that something that worked fails possibly with an error and is
fixed by trivial tweak to paths, filenames and permissions. This might
be due to different versions of PHP, mySQL, Apache and sillynesses with
config files.

Bottom line is assume it will work as-is but be prepared for some
tweaks.
