Public release of LyX version 2.3.0
2013-07-04 19:29:48 +00:00
========================================
2018-02-23 02:46:58 +00:00
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.0.
2018-02-23 02:46:58 +00:00
With this release, LyX celebrates 22 years of existence. The 2.3 series
has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series.
2018-02-23 02:46:58 +00:00
LyX 2.3.0 is the culmination of two years of hard work. An overview
of the new features can be found here:

You can download LyX 2.3.0 from https://www.lyx.org/Download/.

For Windows users, if you installed a pre-release of LyX 2.3.0, you
should uninstall that version before installing this newer release.
We hope you will enjoy the result!
If a file from an earlier version of LyX is opened *and saved* with
any version of 2.3.x, then the original file will automatically be
backed up. The backup file will be found in the backup directory, if one
is set under Tools> Preferences> Paths, or else in the same folder as
the original file, if no backup directory is set. The filename of the
backup file will be:
ORIGNAME-lyxformat-NUM.lyx~
where NUM is the LyX format number of the original file. In the case of
2018-02-23 02:46:58 +00:00
a 2.2.x file, this will be 508, but in the case of older files it will be
different.
The file lib/RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
2017-04-23 20:09:26 +00:00
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.2.x). We strongly recommend that
packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.

As with any major release, this one comes with a lot of new features but
2018-02-23 02:46:58 +00:00
also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.0, either
