Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2)
==================================================
Looking good. Could you confirm that the RCs won't be forward compatible with
documents created with the final 2.0 release please?
we guarantee not to change fileformat for stable releases, ie from 2.0.0.
we do not plan to change it for RC either but if some bug appears it can happen,
so no promise.
I'm confused about the question, though. ALL LyX releases are "forward
compatible" with later releases, in the sense that any file created with
ANY LyX release is intended to be openable in ANY later release, with no
user intervention. Backward compatibility is a different issue, but here
again EVERY LyX release is supposed to be capable of exporting a file
readable by EVERY earlier LyX release, and the lyx2lyx script can in
fact produce ANY file format, even the intermediate ones.
