Good to know :-) What about document compatibility? I know that 1.5 has a new document format which probably can not be read by 1.4.x Usually at least the last version 1.y.x in the 1.y series can read docs from 1.(y+1).0. Of course, you'll use the parts used by new features. Andre'

If you use a new feature and export in the old format the conversion might ignore the new feature (e.g. booktabs tables) or not convert it completely or convert it to ERT. If you are using 1.5 for production work please be aware that it is still beta software, so make frequent backups etc. Georg
