I can see no difference in this respect between 1.3 and 1.4 after applying the patch that I sent earlier: The patch sends newer lyx files through lyx2lyx, too and only refuses to load files that can't be converted. Then LyX 1.3.6 would be able to read current 1.4 files, but not anymore if we change the format again. New file formats could be added by simply replacing lyx2lyx, without the need to update the lyx executable. > With 1.4 we don't know of anything newer, but with 1.3 we do.
