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 <at> 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 <at> 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.
