@ -17,6 +17,17 @@ You can download LyX 2.3.0beta1 from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/.
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.
