LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks

[Bernt Lie]

OK -- so I could just as well start using RC4?

I'm not super software savvy, so I have been hesitant not knowing:
* Can I install RC4 and still use LyX 2.7.1?
* Do I have to uninstall RC4 and install the official release when it becomes available?
* With 2.7.1, I have used MikTeX. Should I still use MikTeX, or use something else? (Does MikTeX also come with LuaTeX, XeTeX, TeXLive, or whatever?)

If these three bullet points do not cause any problems, I may try to download and use RC4.

I don't think there have been any major changes in that machinery. And there definitely won't be any before the final release. Changes from RC4 to the official release are going to be pretty minor (as one would hope).
