This depends on your OS and version.  If you have
evolution-0.10-ximian.1 on Red Hat 6 or 7, you should upgrade to
0.10-ximian.2 if it's available.  (I've made packages, but I'm not sure
if they're available yet.  (I'm not using RH.))

Other than this, you should be fine to upgrade.  I in fact discovered a
simpler way than has been described before.  Try this:

killev
cd ~/evolution/local/Contacts/
cp addressbook.db addressbook.db.backup
db_upgrade addressbook.db

See if your contacts reappear.  Once you're satisfied that they're
available and safe, you can delete the backup at your leisure.

Thanks,
