I compiled lyx 2.3 this week (from git). Today, I opened a file using
one of my own layouts, and got a failure to convet the layout file from
version 60 to version 64.
Assuming the format change is about new features (and not depreciation
of old stuff), I simply changed the version number from 60 to 64. That
seemed to work very well. Is there some test I can do to find out if I
have a bug in my layout, or if the bug is in the conversion?
The output from LyX looked like this:
[Lengthy output from 'reconfigure' deleted]
+Inspection done.
+Read the file doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx for more information.
LyX: Ferdig!

Error: Fikk ikke tak i klassen
----------------------------------------
Kunne ikke bruke stilfilen:
fu-leksjon
fordi det er feil i den. En standardfil med standardstiler
brukes i stedet. LyX får ikke produsert korrekte utdata
på dette viset.
QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 1214, resource id:
6597042, major code: 40 (TranslateCoords), minor code: 0
The part in Norwegian is the message about LyX being unable to use the
style 'fu-leksjon' because of an error, and a standard style is used
instead, and output will therefore be wrong.
The error may be mine, of course. In that case, it'd be useful if the
message told me what line it was in the layout file that broke.
This is a layout I have used for over ten years, every week and with
many versions of LyX. And it seems to work fine by simply changing the
version number. If there is a problem in layout2layout, finding it may
be useful before release?
