The LyX format itself changes regularly during the 2.4.0dev timeline. 
lyx2lyx is updated simultaneously.


When 2.4.0 is released, the format will be fixed and lyx2lyx (barring 
bugs) will stay the same during the lifetime of the branch.
The only exception is that the last 2.4 version will get an updated 
lyx2lyx that can read the 2.5 format.


Likewise, LyX 2.3.7 will be able to read and produce the 2.4.0 format.

ok, I understand.

That explains the troubles I had with
lyx not a readable Lyx document

Yes and no,

LyX 2.4 uses a different format from 2.3 and hence the (2.3) lyx2lyx
does not know the new (2.4) format (yet).

That happens during (almost) every major upgrade and the developers
then usually "backport" that so I would think the eventual 2.3.6.3 (or
2.3.7) will be able to read the 2.4 format.

An older version of lyx2lyx can't know about newer formats?
