Thanks, José. It starts to read a little better.

We are happy to announce the release of the LGPL-licensed, version 1.0 of the
xforms graphical toolkit library used by LyX. This release means that FROM
THIS DATE ON the LyX team will no longer provide support for xforms-0.88 or
xforms-0.89.
The imminent bug-fix release of LyX-1.2.2 can be compiled against older
versions of the xforms library. However, we recommend that all LyX users
upgrade to xforms-1.0. It contains many, many bug fixes that LyX has had to
work around (often in ineffective fashion). The LyX-1.3 series will REQUIRE
the use of xforms-1.0 with the xforms frontend.
The API of xforms-1.0 is unchanged from xforms-0.89. This means that all
recent versions of LyX up to and including 1.2.2 will compile without
modification against it.
Unfortunately, the compiled xforms-1.0 library is binary incompatible with
xforms-0.89. This means that you must recompile LyX against the xforms-1.0
library. Or grab a new LyX rpm from the LyX ftp site of course.
