LyX uses a contiguous numbering scheme for versions, where a
number "2.x.y" indicates a stable release '2.x', maintenance

Please note that maintenance releases are designed primarily to
fix bugs, and that the file format will _never_ change due to a
maintenance release.
In addition to the stable releases and maintenance releases, some

What do I need to compile LyX from the source distribution?
* A good C++ compiler. Development is being done mainly with
gcc/g++, but some others work also. As of LyX 2.3.0, you need
at least gcc 4.6.x.
* A C++11 compiler. Development is being done mainly with gcc/g++,
but clang and MSVC are known to work too. As of LyX 2.4.0, you
need at least gcc 4.7.
* The Qt library, at least version 4.8.0. For all features
newer versions (e.g. Qt 5.6) are recommended.
* The Qt library, at least version 5.2 (5.6 recommended). It is
still possible to compile with Qt 4.8, but this is not
recommended.
Read the file "INSTALL" for more information on compiling.
