Added instructions to original post for those who may experience upgrade issues. This is only likely to occur within the first 24hrs of release.

No problems to report here.
I clicked update this morning and noticed it was downloading a new version of the manual, that's when I remembered "today's the day".
Afterwards, I clicked on Lite Upgrade and in no time I was seeing the reboot prompt, I rebooted and -oh my gosh!!, everything looks the same! (which is great news because I didn't want to lose my customizations 8) [size=78%]).[/size]
[/size]
I confirmed I was running 4.2, and then rebooted and timed my boot time. It was exactly the same 15 seconds from cold boot, so I'm happy as a tornado on a trailer park ;D

Sorry, 5 minutes later and I already have a question:
When I run systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled, I see some weird instances running:
network-manager.service enabled
networkd-dispatcher.service enabled
networking.service enabled
NetworkManager-dispatcher.service enabled
NetworkManager.service enabled
So network-manager.service is different from NetworkManager.service ??
I know they are, but why would someone need BOTH running?
And how about networkd-dispatcher.service and NetworkManager-dispatcher.service ??
I know there's a small "d" letter there as well as the small caps/large caps, but why are both to be running?
I'm guessing one of the instances might be superseding the other or something like that??

I have been away from Linux Lite for awhile, exploring other distros (mainly to find one for my wife). I just did the upgrade, all went well. Nice job!

I finally got time to install LL 4.0 at the weekend, and now upgraded to 4.2, which went smoothly! Thanks!
It's a superb OS, and my only complaint is I'm enjoying using it too much, can't get much else done.
I'd love to see people's reactions to a new laptop with this as the ready-installed OS.
SN. I hope my reply has been useful - click Thank on the left.

Redshift is a nice addition to Lite Software, testing it for the first time tonight . And it comes fully translated for us non-English LL users.
