Hi, temporarily I have placed the source for lyx-1.6.0beta1 in http://lyx.org/~jamatos/lyx-1.6/
If it goes well we could/should announce it publically and then it would be nice to have packages to test this under different scenarios. If the sources have some unseen problem I would like to fix those issues as soon as possible and then release the second beta immediately. Regards, -- José Abílio
