Which problems did you encounter ? We might need to fix these.
If there are really problems introduced after beta3 that make rc3 unusable,
this is really serious.

You can download the lyx2lyx script:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/export/38473/lyx-devel/trunk/lib/lyx2lyx/lyx_2_0.py
and install it in the lib/lyx2lyx directory.

Thank you Vincent, will try and copy the script.
As for the errors, the main thing was that I was experiencing several
spontaneous crashes which I had not experienced with RC3. Nothing that
resulted in data loss, though. The other issue (the main one that made
me downgrade), I have a document which previously rendered as PDF (using
latex2pdf) which now suddenly complains that latex cannot determine
image size (no bounding box). Unfortunately, this problem has persisted
after downgrading, so I might have been wrong in assuming that it was
the upgrade that caused the error.
For now, I am using ps2pdf to render the document, but all image size
are out of whack. E.g. Doubling the size of an image has no effect in
the rendered document. Image fles are all SVGs, but I have tried
replcing them with PNG, EPS and PDF, to no avail.
Kind regards,
Stefan
