Since it has been quite a long time (for +unsurprising reasons) since the last update, this one contains more fixes +than usual. We have fixed a number of crashes. + +What's new in version 2.3.6? +---------------------------- + +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. + +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. + + +What's new in version 2.3.5? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.3.5 is the fifth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. + +LyX 2.3.5 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more +reliable and more stable. Most of the changes are incremental, but quite a +few important bugs have now been fixed. + +One important change is that Inkscape 1.0 is now supported: It will be detected +and configured automatically. Users of previous versions have recently reported +configuration failures when Inkscape 1.0 is installed, leading to an incomplete +(and all but unusable) installation of LyX. This should also be fixed. + + +What's new in version 2.3.4? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.3.4 is the fourth maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. + +LyX 2.3.4 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more +reliable and more stable. One important change is that we have finally fixed +a large number of bugs related to bibitems (see bug #7548). We have also (we +hope) fixed a long-standing bug involving the saving of files on Windows to +Dropbox folders and another involving missing included files. + + +What's new in version 2.3.3? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.3.3 is the third maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. + +LyX 2.3.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more +reliable and more stable. One important change is that emergency files are +now renamed when users wish to save them. As a result, older emergency files +are not over-written. One major update allows for the editing of the contents +of the user-provided premable, and the contents of ERT insets, in external +editors, a request that goes back to 2003 and bug #991. + + +What's new in version 2.3.2? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.3.2 is the second maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. + +LyX 2.3.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more +reliable and more stable. One main fix involves a crash with external viewers +on Windows. We have also fixed a number of problems with the output of right- +to-left languages, thanks to the involvement of users. There was also an +infinite loop bug connected with the separation of environments that has been +fixed. But, for the most part, the fixes here are incremental. + + +What's new in version 2.3.1? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.3.1 is the first maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. + +We have fixed a number of bugs and added some new features. Perhaps the most +important of these is that Jean-Marc Lasgouttes re-wrote the document painting +mechanism. This makes LyX snappier, especially on repeated events. + +All python scripts distributed with LyX should now be compatible with both +python 2.x and python 3.x. + +One oft-requested enhancement was to restore a keyboard shortcut for opening +the 'settings' menu of graphics, reference, etc, insets. This is now Control- +Alt-i, on Windows and Linux, and Control-Option-i on OSX (assuming you are +using the default keybindings). + + + What's new in version 2.3.0? ---------------------------- @@ -24,6 +136,18 @@ http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX23 * Code preview & highlighting + +What's new in version 2.2.3? +---------------------------- + +LyX 2.2.3 is the third maintenance release in the 2.2.x series. + +We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. +Most of these are relatively minor, but the combined result of fixing +them all has led to significant improvements.
