What's new in version 2.1.4?
----------------------------
LyX 2.1.4 is the fourth maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
A large number of bugs have been fixed. Many of these were minor, but
there were a few crashes we fixed, too, so we encourage all LyX users
to upgrade to this version.
What's new in version 2.1.3?
----------------------------
LyX 2.1.3 is the third maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
A large number of bugs have been fixed, most of them fairly minor. But
there were several additional improvements to the lyx2lyx conversion
program that should make import of older beamer documents more reliable.
What's new in version 2.1.2?
----------------------------
LyX 2.1.2 is the second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the problem
that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0,
sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes generally
happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table, usually a
fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a crash when
trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution. That bug has
also been fixed.
There are also several other, smaller bug-fixes, including several more
improvements to the lyx2lyx conversion scripts. This should make the import
of older beamer documents easier.
What's new in version 2.1.1?
----------------------------
LyX 2.1.1 is the first maintenance release in the 2.1.x series. It is bug-
fixing release, and a whole lot of bugs have been fixed. Please see the
release announcement for the details.
Several users have reported seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, sometimes
resulting in dataloss. These crashes appear to happen when the user attempts
to save a file, and the dataloss occurs because the original LyX file is over-
written by a corrupt file that then cannot be opened. The seemingly random
crashes, we believe, are due to auto-save, which is enabled or disabled in
Tools> Preferences> Document Handling > "Backup documents every...minutes".
Unfortunately, we have been unable to find the cause of this bug, though all
known reports seem to involve documents that contain tables, and the corrupt
file always ends with: \begin_inset Tabular.
To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files if the user
has not enabled backups. LyX now renames the existing file before
attempting to save the new one (in effect, making a temporary backup).
Then, if the save fails, the original file can be restored.
