Hi, Scott,
I've been using master extensively over the last couple months, and
other than bugs I've reported I've had no problems at all. I actually
started doing it because I actually needed some of the new features,
e.g., biblatex support, some of the changes to the citation dialog,
inverted branches.

Yes, we should all do that, but just in case....
If any file from an earlier version of LyX is opened *and saved* with
any version of 2.3.0, then the original file will automatically be
backed up. The backup file will be found in the backup directory, if one
is set under Tools> Preferences> Paths, or else in the same folder as
the original file, if no backup directory is set. The filename of the
backup file will be:
ORIGNAME-lyxformat-NUM.lyx~
where NUM is the LyX format number of the original file. In the case of
2.2.x file, this will be 508, but in the case of older files it will be
different.
Scott, it might actually be a good idea to include this information in
the 2.3.0-ish announcements. People often ask what these files are, and
it's obviously good for people to konw they exist.
