- LyX uses a continuous numbering scheme in which odd or
- even numbering is not significant. Instead a number '1.x.y'
- indicates stable release '1.x', fix level 'y'. Prereleases
- are labeled with a "pre" suffix. Thus there are three possible
- file names:
-
- lyx-1.5.0.tar.gz -- stable release
- lyx-1.5.5.tar.gz -- fifth maintenance release of the
- 1.4 stable release
