I fixed this bug in 1.0 series after 1.0.3:

Bug#421, avoid saving to LFF by default, continued
We need to test whether this bug still exists in the 2.0 series.
For this type of series data loss causing bugs, we will spend time on:
1, review why LFF could be a default saving format in some user cases (no previous default). Find a solution to avoid this from happening at all;
2, review the LFF file filter process, when the filter finds an entity it can not handle, the filter should report an error, with some GUI error messages, and hopefully, mark the document as "unsaved";
3, generate a GUI message to remind user LFF is chosen, and this format isnt' meant for CAD;
Urgent actions needed:
Release 1.0.4, if Ries has no time here, I will test and release 1.0.4, which includes fixes for data loss by LFF format.
On 2.0.0 stabilization,
1, we get trouble with OS/X still, I don't work on mac much, and we don't have any developers with mac expertise. Maybe, we can release first, and try to fix os/x whenever issues reported by users;
2, 2.0.0 is quite stable for me on Linux.
basically, I would like to see release of 2.0.0 as soon as possible.

Sorry to hear about the lost work, thanks for bringing up the problem.
Ubuntu 13.10 will have 1.0.3.
On a related note, what is the roadmap/anticipated release schedule
for LibreCAD 2?
