It is more complicated than that. Due to a long development cycle of 1.4, 1.3.7 become the best and more stable lyx version ever to be released, making the comparasion between 1.3.7 and 1.4.0 even more unfair (as if it was possible ;-). We became addicted to its stability so it is difficult to say goodbye to an old friend, and if we stay like this I will expect to see someone asking for 1.3.8. :-) Yours-getting-rid-of-all-the-last-minute-emoticons-before-Friday'ly -- José Abílio
