OK I will not announce tomorrow and will wait a couple of days for testing. I'll get the tar balls (and mac and win binaries) on the FTP and ask for testing on lyx-devel by tonight. I could not do it earlier because I had work. Even though it is just one command to upload, I am always nervous using the FTP and like to double, triple, and quadruple check with dry-run and I try to only upload when I know I will have time afterwards so I can correct something in case it goes wrong.
