Public release of LyX version 2.1.1

We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.1. This is the first
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.

LyX 2.1.1 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 strongly encourage
|
|
|
|
|
all LyX users to upgrade to this version.

Several users have reported seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, sometimes
|
|
|
|
|
resulting in dataloss. These crashes appear to happen when the user attempts
|
|
|
|
|
to save a file, and the dataloss occurs because the original LyX file is over-
|
|
|
|
|
written by a corrupt file that then cannot be opened. The seemingly random
|
|
|
|
|
crashes, we believe, are due to auto-save, which is enabled or disabled in
|
|
|
|
|
Tools> Preferences> Document Handling > "Backup documents every...minutes".

Unfortunately, we have been unable to find the cause of this bug, though all
|
|
|
|
|
known reports seem to involve documents that contain tables, and the corrupt
|
|
|
|
|
file always ends with: \begin_inset Tabular. Users who work with tables a lot
|
|
|
|
|
may therefore wish to disable auto-save.

|
|
|
To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files. Rather than
|
|
|
|
|
over-write the original file immediately, LyX now saves the new file to a
|
|
|
|
|
temporary name and then renames the new file to the original filename only
|
|
|
|
|
after it has been written successfully.
