lyx2lyx fails to convert most of the lyx documentations and examples to 1.4.x , with error messages similar to
Traceback (most recent call last): File "lib/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx", line 101, in ? sys.exit(main(sys.argv)) File "lib/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx", line 95, in main file.write() File "/home/bpeng/lyx-devel/lyx-1.5-rw/lib/lyx2lyx/LyX.py", line 278, in write self.output.write(line.encode(self.encoding)+"\n") UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u2044' in position 2: ordinal not in range(256) This has to be addressed before RC1, but I am not familiar with this character encoding issue.
