tex2lyx and 1.3.6pre
Hi I am aware that tex2lyx will be invoked as of 1.4.0 but wondered whether, as it is already stable and far more powerful than relyx, whether it might be added to the 1.3.6pre version. If not is there a reason for its exclusion. Geoff

No. If not is there a reason for its exclusion. Yes. LyX 1.3.6 is a bug fix release even if our definition of bug fix is being stretched by our support for LyX/Win. LyX 1.3.6 *will* ship with the 1.4 version of lyx2lyx because we're confident that it doesn't contain any new bugs. That means that downgrading from a more modern .lyx file than those recognized by LyX 1.3.x (format 221) should be straightforward. In other words, if you're confident in tex2lyx's abilities, then you should be able to use it painlessly with LyX 1.3.6. However, we're not going to make this happen out of the box. Geoff Angus
