 How does the LyX version scheme work?
 
     LyX uses a contiguous numbering scheme for versions, where a
-    number "1.x.y" indicates a stable release '1.x', maintenance
-    release 'y'.  In other words, LyX 1.5.0 was the first stable
-    release in the 1.5-series of LyX. At the time of writing, the
-    latest maintenance release in the 1.5-series was LyX 1.5.2
