Subject: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.3.7 is released
Public release of LyX version 1.3.7
===================================
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.3.7.
We hope that this will be the last release in the 1.3.x series. In
addition to many bug fixes, the following improvements are worth
noting:
- LyX 1.3.7 is able to read all LyX files up to file format 245,
the format that we anticipate will be used by the forthcoming LyX 1.4.0.
- The windows version has received some polish, in particular in the
installer and in the handling of file names.
Apparently this version of the Lyx Windows 1.3.7 release uses the
Angus installer rather than the Uwe installer. The result is that on
several machines the Angus installer fails to complete because it
does not run the configure script and consequently no textclass.lst.
The fix is to run the Msys sh.exe on C: ~\lyx\Resources\lyx\configure
It was my understanding that this warning was to be included in
the install script so that if the user experienced this problem, then
he would know how to fix it. Nor do I see this remedy mentioned
on http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX137 the Wiki 137 page.
Since Angus gave permission, I decided to edit the Wiki 137 page.
Feel free to act as editor ;-)

under Installing Lyx
_Some_ of our users report that the configure script fails to run and,
as a result, LyX fails to start, reporting a missing textclass.lst file.
To fix, run the command (using Msys):
'sh configure' from the LyX/Resources/lyx directory.
SH: I slightly modified this Angus original text to read well in context:
"However, some of our users report that the configure script fails to run
and, as a result, LyX fails to start, reporting a missing textclass.lst
file.
To fix, run the command: 'sh configure' from the LyX/Resources/lyx
directory."
SH: I just mentioned Msys/sh.exe because it is the simplest method.

Stephen
