Public release of LyX version 2.3.3
===
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.3. This is the third
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
You can download LyX 2.3.3 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
LyX 2.3.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
reliable and more stable. One important change is that emergency files are
now renamed when users wish to save them. As a result, older emergency files
are not over-written. One major update allows for the editing of the
contents
of the user-provided premable, and the contents of ERT insets, in external
editors, a request that goes back to 2003 and bug #991.
Please note that the present version of the Windows installer does not
include
updates to such dependencies as ImageMagick. These will be included in an
updated installer to be released shortly.
If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.3, please open a bug report at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
lists.lyx.org) and ask.
If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
is at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
LyX users' list (lyx-users lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
active community of people who are ready to help.
We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.3.
The LyX team.
