Lots has changed since 0.2.11 (though 1.4 would have been called 0.4 if they never decided to bump up to a 1.x series). It depends on what you changed how easy it will be.
Don't forget to backup everything so you can rollback...
- BACKUP[/*:m:1dkfsonh]
- Make sure you backed up files and database[/*:m:1dkfsonh]
- Make a backup[/*:m:1dkfsonh]
- Check all the release notes to make sure nothing is removed or changed in a way that Isotope doesn't fit you anymore in a newer version. In the case it did change something drastically and you don't want it it may be easier to change the PayPal gateway code.[/*:m:1dkfsonh]
- If any extensions depend on Isotope check that they are compatible or can be updated to be compatible.[/*:m:1dkfsonh]
- Update Isotope and depending extensions using the extension repository.[/*:m:1dkfsonh]
- Custom made changes/extensions may no longer work, but you have to figure that out yourself.[/*:m:1dkfsonh]
