4.0.4 -> 4.0.5 upgrade best practice?

Is there a best practice upgrade guide anywhere?
I'm updating all my cpan modules right now, and
Would like to upgrade to take advantage of the new
Bug fixes, but the site documentation seems a little thin?

We write detailed upgrading documentation for each version and ship it
with RT. You should read the README and docs/UPGRADING-4.0. (Note that
there are other upgrading files you'd read as well if you were coming up
from an older version like 3.8.)

Additionally, we outline the upgrade process in a blog post:

Very good, and is it recommended to go 4.0.4 to 4.0.6, or should users
go 4.0.4 to 4.0.5 to 4.0.6?

Going through an intermediate version is not necessary or generally
recommended.
