Obviously I did not release 1.1.5fix2 on Monday. So, the new deadline
is set to tomorrow.
As usual, 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 in the branch
lyx-1_1_5, which you can get with the command
cvs checkout -d lyx-1_1_5 -r lyx-1_1_5 lyx-devel
In particular, I'd like to make sure that it compiles on RedHat Linux
7.0.
I was about to point the laziest among you to the daily build done by
Kayvan at
ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.1.5
but they do not seem to be up-to-date anymore...

Remaining problems
==================
These are bugs which are probably small, and mostly appeared recently.
Good clients for a fix release. Note that they exist in 1.1.6 too, so
we'll have to fix them eventually. Please send me references to the
ones I forgot.
