Playing a lawyer here: :-) The issue that Jürgen stressed is total compatibility between all releases in the same stable release. We expect that any document that works for 2.4.5 should also work unchanged for 2.4.0. In practical terms we all agree that the inconvenience is small and most of the time easily solved. But that has never stopped a good theoretical discussion. :-D Best regards, -- José Abílio -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
