Hello LyX testers, I uploaded a new snapshot of the upcoming LyX version 1.6.0 for Windows: LyX 1.6.0alpha2.
NOTE: LyX 1.6 is in alpha state! That means it is not stable enough for a beta test release, so expect crashes and inconsistencies. This preview release is build for interested LyX users who want to check out the new features of LyX. The new features of LyX are listed here: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16 ! THIS LYX VERSION SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE THAN TESTING ! ----- The installer for this version can be downloaded from: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=14540 (General infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) This LyX version can be installed side by side to an existing LyX 1.5 installation when you unchek the installer option update the ".lyx" file extension settings. It will be installed as "LyX 1.6.0alpha2". ----- Please report bugs, regressions, and crashes at http://bugzilla.lyx.org/ . Here is a list of the known crashes, and regressions to LyX 1.5.4: http://tinyurl.com/yu4the ----- Installer changelog: Version 4.03 - LyX 1.6alpha2 (list of current regressions: http://tinyurl.com/yu4the ) (note especially http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4693#c10 ) - added some missing Python files to be able to open old LyX documents with LyX 1.6 test builds - new method to view PDF files that should also work under Windows Vista (thanks to Joost Verburg) - The .lyx file extension is no longer removed when it was not created by the LyX version that is uninstalled (necessary to be able to play with LyX 1.6 test builds without touching existing LyX installations) happy testing and best regards Uwe
