[lyx-announce] LyX 2.4.0 Release Candidate 1

[Richard Kimberly Heck]

The LyX team is happy (and relieved) to announce the publication of the 
first 'release candidate' for the long awaited 2.4.0. You can find 
tarballs and binaries for Windows and OSX here:

http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.4/

Strictly speaking, we are releasing RC1 for testing purposes only. 
Please report any bugs you may find to the user list or the developer 
list, as you prefer.

That said, many of us have been using the development branch for 
production work, and we believe it is pretty stable. Remember, however, 
that files saved with 2.4 cannot be opened in LyX 2.3.x unless you first 
export them to that format.
