Public release of LyX version 2.3.6
2018-04-23 19:08:59 +00:00
===================================
2020-11-27 17:15:22 +00:00
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.6. This is the sixth
2020-06-01 18:10:09 +00:00
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. We encourage all users to
upgrade to this version.
2020-11-27 17:15:22 +00:00
You can download LyX 2.3.6 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
2018-04-23 19:08:59 +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.
LyX 2.3.6 is the sixth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. It is the
result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and
more stable. Most of the changes are fairly minor, fixes of smallish bugs,
but a couple crashes have been fixed, as well.
2019-06-10 19:09:41 +00:00
One oft-requested feature (going back 13 years) is the ability to create
new child documents from within the 'include file' dialog. This is now
possible. Another equally old bug that has been fixed is that pasting
table content outside a table no longer pastes tab characters.
