Right. :-) > however there are inconsistencies between official site and wiki > whether release candidate is considered to be a stable release. If the release candidates were considered stable they would be no more release candidate, they would get the job immediately. ;-) > i dont remember exactly but have the feeling that last time fileformat > change were ok after rc1 but not after rc2. maybe Jose should clarify this. Thanks to lyx2lxy and the developers who make it work the fileformat is not the issue. In the release candidate schedule only bug fixes are allowed if the bug fix requires a file format change then OK. The emphasis is on nature of the changes not if it the file format changes or not. The file format is on the same level as the graphical interface as far as the release procedure for rc is concerned. > pavel -- José Abílio
