Why? Can you point me to the relevant posting? I don't find it anymore.

The problem is that the beamer templates (before Enrico changed
\output_changes to false) had an additional white bar to the left if output
with 1.5. They do not have this bar if output with 1.4.
See for comparison the relevant diff of the Userguide (the textcomp change
comes from the insetlatexaccent replacement and is OK).
This is not OK and we need to do a fileformat change subsequently. Can you
please tell me again what you changed exactly in change tracking?
This subsequent file format change will break some documents using change
tracking produced with 1.5svn, but that is the price you have to pay if you
introduce changes without a file format change. I know that in this case we
decided that a chage was not needed (which was obviously wrong), but this
decision took several weeks, and that is far too long.
For the future I suggest that we are really strict about this stuff: No
file format change is committed without lyx2lyx support and bumping the
version number. Otherwise the pressure to do the lyx2lyx stuff is gone and
it will not happen or happen too late.
