Every book I sell that was written in the 21st Century I wrote in LyX. My courseware Instructor Notes are written in LyX. LyX is completely interwoven into my business. SteveT

Grateful for all the work on improving LyX, not to speak of creating it in the first place and keeping it going over the years.

LyX 2.0.3 Released
Public release of LyX version 2.0.3 === We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.3. This is the third maintenance release in the 2.0.x series. LyX 2.0.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this version. 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. You can download LyX 2.0.3 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.3, either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.0.3. The LyX team. http://www.lyx.org What's new in LyX 2.0.3 === There have been several more updates to LyX's Sweave support. Work on this is expected to continue through the 2.0.x series. LyX 2.0.3 still requires a python 2 interpreter, but steps have been taken to avoid problems on systems where python 3 is the default python interpreter. A python 2 interpreter is now automatically detected and used. Additionally, byte-compiled python files changed their installation target. Distribution maintainers are encouraged to verify their patch sets. There have again been several updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Not as many as with 2.0.2, but quite a few. What's new == ** Updates: *** * DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT - Add support for `knitr', an alternative for Sweave on R >= 2.14.1 (bug 7887). - Improved output of Comment notes for XHTML. These are now div's that are hidden by the default CSS. - New layout and template file for articles in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA). - Speed up autosave a bit by not cloning child documents (bug 7923). - Don't use the first python binary in the PATH environment variable if this is not a version 2.x binary, but try to find a suitable one. Note that this mechanism triggers only if the binary is invoked exactly as "python -tt", which is the way it is done internally. - Allow redirecting stderr in converters (other than stdout). - Add LaTeX commands for unicode symbols U+200c, U+2011, U+2017, U+2027 and U+202f to be used with non-unicode LaTeX backends (bug 7998). * TEX2LYX IMPROVEMENTS - Support for included external files via the templates - PDF pages - Chess diagram - Spreadsheet - tabular* environments are imported - Formal tables are now supported (bug 4553). - Support for change tracking commands (bug 4213). * USER INTERFACE - Added scalable LyX icon in svg format (bug 7919). - Clarify what the user can do when hyperref is provided by the document class (bug 6293). - Slightly reduced space around inset buttons, to make it clearer when there is a real space there (bug 7256). - Let inset-toggle work for very large documents (bug 7945). - Disable spell checker dialog for empty documents (bug 5585). - Display some commands from mathtools.sty natively (bug 7949). - Add the directory /usr/share/myspell as default location for dictionary lookup of hunspell spell checker backend (a common location on linux). Detect value change of preferences path to hunspell dictionaries to avoid the need for a restart. This is related to bug 7884. - We now use the display string as a tooltip in the Outliner, if no other tooltip is given. - Show check mark on current math limit type in Edit>Math submenu. * DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION - Customization manual updated to reflect the features of LyX 2.0.x. - New Dutch user interface localization. - Updated Czech, French, German, Indonesian, Interlingua, Italian, Japanese, Nynorsk, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian user interface localizations. - The Sweave manual was completely revised and is now also available in the menu Help->Specific Manuals (bug 7891). - EmbeddedObjects manual: - new description how to color dashed table lines - new section how to split table cells by diagonal lines - Updated description of the external material template PDFPages (bug 7888). - Improved description of the modulo-functions in the Math manual (bug 7961). * BUILD/INSTALLATION - Make sure that we detect and use python 2 on systems where python 3 is the default python interpreter. - cmake, LYX_DEPENDENCIES_DOWNLOAD: look for the right filename on SourceForge. - Make compilation work with GCC 4.7. - Support configure --with-packaging=posix on Mac OS X (bu
