Prepare interim beta5.

No plans to make tarballs available, we are just trying to make
some testing with Joost in backgrounds so installers with rc1
are stable enough.

Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 1)
Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (beta 5)
==================================================
We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of LyX 2.0.0.
We are pleased to announce interim fifth beta release of LyX 2.0.0.
Since the last beta releases became stable enough for a regular work
we switched to release candidate, freezed new development and focused
on bugfixing to make the final release even more polished.
The only purpose of this release is to test new Windows installer
we have prepared. Other architectures should remain with beta4.
Except usual bugfixing..
The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6). We strongly recommend to read
this file for packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions.
As with any major release we come with lot of new features but also
bugs -- so while we encourage curious users to test this release, people
who rely on solid and stable application should stay with 1.6 releases.
Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker.
Tarballs and binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/
Note that windows installers might not appear for this release.
Binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/
LyX 2.0.0 will be culmination of more than two years of hard work
and you can find an overview of the new features here:
