Public release of LyX version 2.3.4
Public release of LyX version 2.3.5
===================================
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.4. This is the fourth
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.5. This is the fifth

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 2.3.4 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.
