Thanks for the update, Jürgen, I agree. Uwe, are you finished with the
documentation until then?
No. There is still too much to do and the translators also need time.
I will see what I can do this week.
Is it really that pressing? I mean I will for sure find further issues
while updating the docs and I think we should take the time to fix as
many bugs as possible.
LyX 2.1 still crashes frequently (I have no recipe to reproduce these
crashes yet) and there are some Windows-specific issues Vincent and I
could not solve (e.g. that LyX's console is now always shown when
viewing a PDF. But the most important issue is that LyX does still
require Python 2.7. This limitation is kind of a nightmare for me
because more and more PCs come with a pre-installed Python 3.x which
will of course interfere with Python 2.7.x so that LyX 2.1beta2 was
not configurable for some users. Or do I missed something and LyX is
now Python 3.x-ready? If so I will stress-test that.
As far as I know, nothing has been done about making the code safe for
python 3.x. But it could be done, and if it needs doing you should open
a blocker bug, please.
