Regarding Add/Remove Programs, you are right, it can be done from there, however when there is an uninstaller in a program, I do prefer to use it. To go a bit further (pse don't sigh): In fact there is so many "aside" programs with LyX that I am always afraid to miss one and for that reason, till today, each time I have fully update (reinstalling everything). But, if I follow you properly, when you have got one installation, let us say 1.4.1, you just need to install 1.4.3 and keep former Miktex, ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Aspell ( I am not sure ) and GSView or to update them directly. As such I should have just to download LyX 1.4.3. Am I correct ? Thanks Paul
[ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.4.3 is relelased
Public release of LyX version 1.4.3 === We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.3. This is a bug fix release that improves stability and MS Windows support. Notable new features include: - The windows port does not need a MSys (unix-like tools) installation anymore. - A new function inset-dissolve has been added to delete an text inset and put its contents in the enclosing text; this can be accessed (like in the math editor) by pressing Backspace at the start of an inset, or Delete at the end. - Many crashes have been fixed, in particular for systems based on gcc 4.1. See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release. In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject: LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It is released under a Free Software / Open Source license. LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great, right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good. On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press. LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. You can download LyX 1.4.3 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2, which yields smaller files): ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.3.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.3.tar.bz2 and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will also host the .bz2 versions): http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/lyx-1.4.3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.3.tar.gz ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.4.3.tar.gz Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows installers) should soon be available at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.3/ If you already have the LyX 1.4.2 sources, you may want to apply one of the following patches instead ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.3.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.3.bz2 Note that this patch will not produce valid LyX/Mac sources, since some binary files have been added for this release. If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.4.3, you may either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). Enjoy! The LyX team. What's new in version 1.4.3? ** Updates: - All shell scripts have been translated to python so sh.exe is no longer needed. That's a big plus for the Windows port. - Implement inset-dissolve feature; this can be accessed (like in mathed) by pressing Backspace at the start of an inset, or Delete at the end (bug 2201). - Add buttons for \intop and \ointop to the math panel (bug 2698) - Native support for \phantom, \hphantom and \vphantom in mathed (bug 1473). - Some small updates to the documentation. - Update Basque, Czech (new), French, German (bug 2718), Hungarian, Italian (bug 2774), NyNorsk and Spanish localizations. - Update Czech (Tutorial, new splash), German (UserGuide [bug 2660], Extended) and Hungarian (new Tutorial) documentation. ** Bug fixes: * Document Input/Output - Fix a crash when importing LaTeX files with no text (bug 2667). - Fix a crash when a used bibtex file is in a non-readable directory (bug 2782). - Fix a crash when lyx2lyx failed to convert LyX file. - Ignore the definition of LyXgreyout environment when re-importing a LyX-generated LaTeX file (part of bug 2420). - When exporting to LaTeX an external inset with template XFig, require the color package, since XFig generates LaTeX code with \color (bug 2716). - Make sure enough passes are made to update the table of contents when running LaTeX (bug 2616). - Don't add extra braces when reading documents containing
