Hi, all,
Things got a bit crazy again, but I now should have a bit of
time. Where do people think we stand with 2.4.0? I've seen a bit
of activity in the interim. Do we need to do one more alpha? Or
should we proceed directly to beta 1?
What if anything needs to be done before we move to whatever the
next stage is?

Here is a list of enhancements with patches targeted to 2.4.0.
Many of them do not involve file format changes, so I guess they
could wait. Unfortunately, I am not always sure whether a patch
involves a format change or not. Maybe someone could check to be
sure?
The rule is pretty simple: If the patch changes what's written in the
LyX file OR changes the LaTeX (or HTML, or whatever) output, then
it's a format change; otherwise, not.
Can you go through your list and update the patches that are format
changes to current master? I will then have a look at them and decide
what's safe enough to include. Also, if there are any non-format
enhancements that seem to you pressing for 2.4.0 (as opposed to
2.4.x), then let me know, and I'll have a look at those, too.

I see. For example, I wasn't sure about changes to the preferences
file. But I take it "LyX file" means ".lyx" file.
I'm actually not sure myself what the rule is about preferences. Since
(normally) those are local to a given machine, maybe that isn't an
issue. But
Do you mean by "safe enough to include" that they should be more or
less done? For example, there were a couple of tickets where you said
that you take a look at while there were things that needed to be done
still. I take it that this is not going to happen, right?
Safe as in: Not likely to cause bugs we need to solve before the
release. Once we hit beta, we are in bug-fixing mode, and the fewer the
better.
