Yes. New files without manually loaded tipa will not work when opened in 1.4.1. > (and if yes: does it justify a file format increment?) I am not sure. The other possibility would be to declare current LyX buggy and pretend that automatic loading has been supposed to happen since tipa support was introduced. This is what we implicitly did for Jean-Marcs AMS changes yesterday. In this case it was the right decision IMHO, since it is very unlikely that you use only the changed AMS constructs. The decision format chnage yes or now is basically a tradeoff between compatibility and ease of use for new users. I am not sure how to decide, I only wanted to make sure that the implications are known when this decision is made. Georg
