Hi all,
First, thanks to the developers for another fine update. The Windows
1.4.2 installer ran error-free for me. However, subsequent to
installing it, I lost View->PDF (pdflatex) in 1.4.1 (and presumably
1.4.2, but I'm keeping 1.4.1 as my production version for the moment).
I went into Tools->Preferences ...->Converters, and the LaTeX->PDF
(pdflatex) converter was gone. In its place was a LaTeX (pdflatex)->PDF
(pdflatex) converter, which apparently was not getting the job done. I
assume this change occurred when I installed 1.4.2. Has anyone else
tripped over this?
That converter is (or should be) actually the same: the pdflatex.exe
compiler. Does Export->PDF (pdflatex) still exist?

No in 1.4.1, yes in 1.4.2. In other words, after 1.4.2 installed (and
changed the preferences file), it could view/export PDF (pdflatex) but
1.4.1 could not. Since LyX to LaTeX conversion is built in (not set
through preferences), I assume this means that 1.4.2 knows how to
convert LyX to the new LaTeX (pdflatex) format and 1.4.1 does not.
It's not a huge problem. It's not a problem at all if you are either a
trusting and soul and replace 1.4.1 with 1.4.2, or conservative and do
not upgrade. It's only an issue for the semi-brave, like me, who
install the new version but keep the old one.
