Public release of LyX version 2.1.4
2014-06-03 15:59:55 +00:00
===================================
2015-07-23 22:00:22 +00:00
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.4. This is the fourth
2014-06-03 15:59:55 +00:00
maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
2014-06-17 20:05:03 +00:00
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 2.1.4 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

2015-02-06 01:28:19 +00:00
LyX 2.1.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
2014-06-03 15:59:55 +00:00
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
2015-07-23 22:00:22 +00:00
a number of improvements. Many of these were minor, but there were a
few crashes we fixed, too. We strongly encourage all LyX users to upgrade
to this version.
2015-07-23 22:00:22 +00:00
