The last 2.2.3 should be 2.3.0, of course :)

Note that LyX 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 are completely compatible, but that 2.2.4 
can open files produced by 2.3.0 (with some loss if new features have 
been used, of course).

We are not happy with the current situation and our goal is to provide
official Windows binaries. Note that there are unofficial binaries
available that have been made by a LyX developer, that have been tested,
and that from what I've heard from users work well. The LyX 2.3.0
installers (both the bundle and the simple installer) need to
automatically update your MiKTeX installation to the newest MiKTeX
version (LyX 2.3.0 requires this on Windows). If you are fine with your
MiKTeX installation being automatically updated during the installation,
you could consider using these binaries, which have been posted by the
LyX developer here:

> Furthermore, are both the LyX .2.2.3 and 2.3.0 compatible?

LyX 2.3.0 can open files that were saved with LyX 2.2.3, but LyX 2.2.3
cannot open files that were saved by LyX 2.2.3.

Official LyX 2.3.0 Windows binaries

2018-05-11 Thread Matías
To whom it may concern:

The LyX  2.2.4 and LyX 2.3.0 versions do not have Windows binaries. I would
like to know if this structure is going to be continued in the following
versions. Furthermore, are both the LyX .2.2.3 and 2.3.0 compatible?
Thank you for your effort, please reply at your earliest convenience.
