format. See #9554 and cc83dfa8. This is now documented in
RELEASE-NOTES.

Thanks to Livu.

* As usual, when opening and saving a document that was created by a previous
major version of LyX (in this case 2.1.x), the file format is changed to
the new file format (in this case 2.2.x). What is different starting with
2.2.0 is that when we save a file that was not originally in the current LyX
format, we create a backup of the original file. We put it in the backup
directory, if one exists, otherwise in the directory the original file is
in. This is the same strategy as for normal backups. This backup file can be
helpful in case a bug in lyx2lyx caused data loss. For more information, see
#9554.
