How does the LyX version scheme work?
LyX uses a contiguous numbering scheme for versions, where a
number "1.x.y" indicates a stable release '1.x', maintenance
release 'y'. In other words, LyX 1.5.0 was the first stable

one of:
2.0.6dev -- this is the stable branch on which maintenance
release 2.0.6 will eventually be tagged.
2.1.0dev -- this is the main branch on which stable
release 2.1.0 will eventually be tagged.

* A good C++ compiler. Development is being done mainly with
gcc/g++, but some others work also. As of LyX 1.6.0, you need at
least gcc 3.2.x.
