LGT-1.0a is now online
Hello, (Assume many smiley's in this message - I know it isn't Friday, but it feels like it ...) Asger has graciously put version 1.0a of the LGT online. It really should be v1.1, but I didn't think it was going to be as much work as it turned out to be. Changes: 1) An alert reader pointed out that I misspelled "beautiful" on the Math page. I took advantage of this error to demonstrate the spellchecker, as someone else wished. I had to change only 5 screenshots instead of 10 as a result. Still a pain in the butt, but only one cheek instead of two. 2) Many of you whined about having the "next" and "previous" guide words too small. That was intentional - I wanted you to force you to read the pages. Besides, you all found them, didn't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be whining. Anyway, I caved in an made them 2 sizes larger. I have not added cutesy little arrows; I do have some dignity (and no cutesy little arrows). 3) I showed that at least footnotes can be collapsed. 4) Widened the tables to 90% width instead of 80%. Let me know if there are any other problems. Almost all the changes are on the last page, so head there to see the bulk of them. BTW, someone commented about the LGT showing up too low on the main Web page. How about the following addition: in the main 1.0.0 release paragraph, why not change it to LyX version 1.0 has a few new features since version 0.12.0, including importing LaTeX files. Compared to the more widely released 0.10.7, version 1.0 is an immense improvement. Lots and lots of new features have been added, speed has improved, documentation has been rewritten basically from scratch -- the list of improvements is too long to mention here. Check out the WHATSNEW and CHANGES files in the distribution, or look at the Features page. If you are completely new to LyX or haven't used it in a long time, take the to get a feel for how LyX 1.0.0 works. One possible solution ... Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem I have with this solution is that the LGT is buried at the bottom of a paragraph. Do you mean do this in addition to the LGT paragraph below? That could work. Alternatively, the LGT paragraph could be placed at the end of the "What is LyX?" section. It's short enough that "1.0 is released!" will still be available on the average browser. The truth is, the LGT kind of fits in best with "What is LyX", doesn't it? -Amir

Either of these will do; someone official should just pick one and do it. The LGT should go into the Navigate bar/table, too. Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED]
