This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX
1.2.1.
All comments are welcome.

You can find a list of bugs pending for 1.2.1 at URL
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&&target_milestone=1.2.1

I'd be glad if some of you could take the time to check it out (or fix
a bug or two if you are feeling adventurous). Let me recall that all
these fixes have been checked in the branch BRANCH-1_2_X, which you
can get with the command
  cvs checkout -d lyx-1_2_x -r BRANCH-1_2_X lyx-devel
