We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.8. This is the 9th
|
||||
maintenance release in the 1.6.x series.
|
||||
|
||||
From the list of fixes and improvements, we'd like to highlight
|
||||
particularly that this release irons out all known stability problems with
|
||||
Qt 4.6. LyX 1.6.7 is our first release that is supposed to run smoothly
|
||||
with Qt 4.6, so we urge all distributors who use that version to upgrade
|
||||
LyX as well.
|
||||
LyX 1.6.8 is the result of our ongoing efforts to make our stable version
|
||||
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed crashes that have been
|
||||
reported to us, ironed out many small glitches, further polished the user
|
||||
interface, updated the documentation and added some new layouts.
|
||||
|
||||
A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems
|
||||
are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.
|
||||
|
||||
All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.
|
||||
While our next major release, LyX 2.0, has just reached beta status and
|
||||
already can be tried out by the curious and brave, LyX 1.6.8 is the
|
||||
release for everyone who is relying on a solid and polished application.
|
||||
We thus encourage all users to upgrade to this version.

|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
** Updates:
|
||||
***********
|
||||
|
||||
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
|
||||
|
||||
- New -f [--force-overwrite] command line flag. Without any argument (or
|
||||
with 'all' as argument) all files are silently overwritten on export
|
||||
from the command line. Using 'main' as argument, only the main file will
|
||||
be overwritten.
|
||||
|
||||
- New preference setting for selecting what to do when existing files are
|
||||
going to be overwritten on export from the GUI.
|
||||
|
||||
- Detect LyXBlogger, a LyX to WordPress Blog Publishing Tool, if installed
|
||||
(bug 6658). See http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyXBlogger.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* USER INTERFACE
|
||||
|
||||
- Layout and template file for document class "article (IEEEtran)" were
|
||||
updated for IEEEtran 1.7a.
|
||||
|
||||
- Do not unnecessarily truncate the text of notes, footnotes and marginals
|
||||
(bug 6672, part 1).
|
||||
|
||||
- Tooltips are added to the outliner (bug 6672, part 2).
|
||||
|
||||
- Add GUI support for big delimiters variants without 'l', 'm' or 'r'
|
||||
endings and for '<' and '>' with all variants.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
|
||||
|
||||
- New Greek translation of the Intro manual.
|
||||

||||
- Updated Basque, Czech, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian,
|
||||
Japanese and Slovak user interace localizations.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* BUILD/INSTALLATION
|
||||
|
||||
- On cygwin, install lyxprofile and lyxrc.dist by default. This avoids the
|
||||
use of post-install scripts for this task.

||||
