Pre-release of LyX version 2.0.0 (beta 4)
==========================================
Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 1)
==================================================
We are pleased to announce the fourth public pre-release of LyX 2.0.0.
We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of LyX 2.0.0.
Except usual bugfixing we fixed random crashes connected with the
new background export and compilation feature.
Since the last beta releases became stable enough for a regular work
we switched to release candidate, freezed new development and focused
on bugfixing to make the final release even more polished.
As far as new features is considered it is now possible to set the
table width, customize the language package per document and
export LyX files as a single archive containing linked material
(e.g. images) directly via export menu.
Except usual bugfixing..
Since this is most probably the last beta release we also added
convertor for old (1.6) preference files which are automatically
checked on the startup now.
The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6). We strongly recommend to read
this file for packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions.
Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker and
also note that this release is for testing purposes only. Users are
encouraged to use current 1.6 stable release for any serious work.
As with any major release we come with lot of new features but also
bugs -- so while we encourage curious users to test this release, people
who rely on solid and stable application should stay with 1.6 releases.
Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker.
Tarballs and binaries can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/
Note that windows installers might not appear for this release.
