How does the LyX version scheme work?
|
||||
|
||||
LyX uses a continuous numbering scheme in which odd or
|
||||
even numbering is not significant. Instead a number '1.x.y'
|
||||
indicates stable release '1.x', fix level 'y'. Prereleases
|

are labeled with a "pre" suffix. Thus there are three possible

file names:

LyX uses a contiguous numbering scheme for versions, where a

number "1.x.y" indicates a stable release '1.x', fix level 'y'.

Prereleases are denoted with the suffix "pre" and there are

lyx-1.5.0.tar.gz -- stable release

lyx-1.5.5.tar.gz -- fifth maintenance release of LyX 1.5

lyx-1.5.0pre1.tar.gz -- potentially unstable test release
