The rules with LyX versions are clear:

* all stable versions 2.x.y with same x are able to read/write files in 
the exact same 2.x format.

* all stable versions 2.x.y are able to read files of version 2.x' with 
x'<x. They will later save as their own 2.x format, but they are able to 
export to format 2.x'.

* the last stable release of the 2.x series is able to read files from 
2.(x+1) series and to export to this version, although it can be 
expected that some features are turned to ERT. This last stable release 
is usually released at the same time as 2.(x+1).0.

If any of these descriptions is incorrect, please file a bug or complain 
here.

PS: you can replace the 2. with 1., in case you have old files lying 
around :)
