Hello,
It transpires that, since I am leaving for vacation this evening, I
will not be able to release LyX 1.4.5 (I come back on 31/07). This
means that either Jose or Juergen will have to do it (they have all
the information to put things on our ftp sites now).
The only remaining bugs are:
2958 Backport lyx2lyx from trunk to the last 1.4.x version
waiting for Jose :)
3553 regression Wrong figure files included in the final pdf manuscript
w...
as I wrote in the report, I believe the bug is that user already had
a pdf definition in his local preferences.
I attach the status file and (for reference) my release checklist.

This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 1.4.5
All comments are welcome.
I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix
a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all
these fixes have been checked into the BRANCH_1_4_X branch, which you
can get with the command
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_4_X lyx-1.4.x
