I have without any is= sues. There are some configuration file change, which you may want to consi= der checking. I definitely recommend upgrading your development servers for= an extensive testing. Some queries _may_ run slower or not work at all and= you may have to rearrange how you join tables in your queries. The upgrade from 5.5 to 5.6 should me smoother, though.
