Generally all you need to upgrade from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 is the new grouper jars: grouper.jar, grouper-ws.jar, etc. You will need to build the UI. There are some config file changes that you should merge so you have up to date documentation in the config files, though all new config file changes should be optional. You can enable caching in the API for improved performance.
