[ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.6.3 is released
Public release of LyX version 1.6.3 === We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.3. This is the third maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. Besides the usual improvements of stability, the highlights of this release are: * tex2lyx is now able to read files in all latex supported encodings and transform them into the proper unicode-based format introduced in 1.5.0. This paves the way for many other improvements in LaTeX-LyX translation. * The performance problems when editing a master with child documents have been resolved. * LyX 1.6.3 introduces some goodies provided by Qt 4.5 (menu support for fullscreen mode in linux, close button on tabs). Of course these improvements (as well as some Qt-related fixes) only show up if LyX is compiled against Qt 4.5. A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. 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 1.6.3 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2, which yields smaller files): ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.3.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.6.3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.6.3.tar.bz2 and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will also host the .bz2 versions): ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.3.tar.gz http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.3.tar.gz ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.3.tar.gz http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/unix/editors/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.3.tar.gz http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.3.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/1.6.3/ If you already have the sources of the previous release, you may want to apply one of the following patches instead ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.3.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.3.bz2 If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.3, 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/.
