Hello LyXers,
under
https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=9869
you can find the windows installer for LyX 1.4.1.
To learn more about the LyX installer for Windows, have a look at
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
You can install LyX 1.4.1 aditionally to LyX 1.3.7, that means you
can use LyX 1.4 with having a stable working LyX 1.3 release on your system.
These problems are known:
- LyX's menus are not localized (english is used)
- all toolbar buttons are disabled after you opened a dialog,
they are deactivated when you click in the text (see LyX's bug 2423)
- LyX couldn't be started when there is a drive letter "J" on your
system
Some users reported some problems about tex2lyx (LyX's Menu File ->
Import) in this Windows installer (Angus' version):
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX14x
They are not in LyXWinInstaller. Due to lack of time I can only give
support for LyXWinInstaller, not for Angus' installer version.
Here's the changelog:
- the first version of the installer that comes with LyX 1.4
- LyX 1.4.1svn can be installed additionally to LyX 1.3.x
- pdf images are now displayed with their bounding box (for more details
see LyX's bug #2418: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2418 )
- LaTeX packages needed by beamer and powerdot will now automatically be
installed when LyX is first configured
- fix bug that MiKTeX is not recognized when it is installed only for
the current user
- updated to GSview 4.8
- updated to Imagemagick 6.2.7
- updated to aspell 0.60-4
----------
LyX 1.4 needs aspell 0.60.4 for spellchecking, that means you have to
install new dictionaries after you installed LyX 1.4. You can download
them from
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6
LyXWinInstaller comes with these additional features in comparison to
the official release:
- layout files for beamer and powerdot
- slightly different toolbar, see
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserInterface
best regards Uwe
