Next (but the patch shouldn't wait for this!), we have to look into lyx2lyx for converting old files.Is lyx2lyx support really needed? Or, in other words: Which patch changedthe file format so that a lyx2lyx change is needed?I thought that all you did was to change how spaces are inserted during editing, and not how they are output to LaTeX. If that is not true then you created a big mess by committing the patch without lyx2lyx, and the patch causing the file format change should be reverted ASAP and resubmitted witha new file format number and lyx2lyx support in place.In any case you will destroy documents saved with a version of LyX between applying the patch and changing the file format (or reverting the patch), and since you can't change the past the only option to limit the number ofdocuments saved this way is to revert to the old behaviour ASAP.
No, our patches did not change the file format. The file format was changed long ago (don't ask me exactly, Dov might know better). The problem is that the latex output of bidi paragraphs was different to the visual appearance. So the only thing we did now is that we made the rendering consistent with what you get with tex. The solution for the user was to remove spaces at the borders of RTL insets before. Because then everything is compatible. This workaround still applies with our changes. In other words: our patch makes these problems at the borders visible to the user. So we have not lost anything. We only gained the possibility to make it consistent finally by adding a small 10 line filter to lyx2lyx. I don't see the mess here.
