Public release of LyX version 1.4.1
Public release of LyX version 1.4.2
===================================
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.1. This is a bug fix
release, but some of the bugs were big. In particular:
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.2. This is a bug fix
release that improves perfromance, stability and native OS support.
Notable new features include:
- fix the huge memory consumption and corresponding sluggishness with
documents containing many graphics or `instant preview' snippets.
- LyX now automatically uses file viewers and editors set at OS level
[Windows and Mac OS X only]
- fix slow screen update with nested insets, particularly with LyX/Mac.
- The windows installer has been completely rewritten.
- fix the delay when exiting from a math inset.
- Add new function buffer-toggle-compression (and entry in Document
menu) to change whether the file will be compressed on disk or not.
- let the change tracking code track paragraph breaks too.
- Add "LaTeX (pdflatex)" output format. This new output format produces
.tex files that are suitable for pdflatex, including figure conversion
to png, pdf or jpeg instead of eps.
Also, this will be the first 1.4 release with a windows installer.

before loading lyxrc.defaults and preferences.
