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.
