|
||||
We appreciate your help in testing this pre-release!
|
||||
|
||||
If a file from an earlier version of LyX is opened *and saved* with
|
||||
any version of 2.3.x, then the original file will automatically be
|
||||
backed up. The backup file will be found in the backup directory, if one
|
||||
is set under Tools> Preferences> Paths, or else in the same folder as
|
||||
the original file, if no backup directory is set. The filename of the
|
||||
backup file will be:
|
||||
ORIGNAME-lyxformat-NUM.lyx~
|
||||
where NUM is the LyX format number of the original file. In the case of
|
||||
2.2.x file, this will be 508, but in the case of older files it will be
|
||||
different.
|
||||
|
||||
The file lib/RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
|
||||
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.2.x). We strongly recommend that
|
||||
packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.
