Sorry, this should be:
Between RC4 and RC5 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.
You get this as the fileformats are different. RC4 can read files created with RC3, but not the
opposite way. But you can open the file with RC4, export it there to the format of LyX 1.5.x and
then open the result with RC3.
The same thing happens if I open a new file in RC3 now that I have RC4
installed.
Then it seems that your LyX installations interfere. RC3 contained unfortunately too many bugs for
an RC and also datalosses and new regressions, so I would recommend to uninstall RC3 and RC4 and
install RC5 that was released today.
