Yes, you could run lyx2lyx on your file and specify the output
fileformat. But why do you want to go back?
Testing.
Does anyone know if rc5 is compatible with rc4?
Every new LyX version can read files from older versions. Between
RC4 and RC% no fileformat change happened. When LyX1.6.0 is finally
released, the fileformat will be stable for all releases of LyX 1.6.x.
Then why can I not open a RC4 file in RC3? I get "lyx2lyx" converter
errors.
The same thing happens if I open a new file in RC3 now that I have RC4
installed. Apparently the new file template is also not backward
compatible...
