It contains the differences between the sources of LyX 1.3.5 and LyX 1.3.6. If you have the source of LyX 1.3.5 unpacked already you can use the gzipped patch to update that to 1.3.6 by doing something like cd unpacked_sour_dir gunzip < gezipped_patch | patch -p0 Or you could read the patch literally (after unzipping of course) if you are interested in the changes in detail.
