Public release of LyX version 2.1.0
========================================
Public release of LyX version 2.1.1
===================================
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.0.
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.1. This is the first
maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
With this release, LyX celebrates 18 years of existence. The 2.1 series
has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series.
LyX 2.1.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage
all LyX users to upgrade to this version.
LyX 2.1.0 is the culmination of three years of hard work. An overview
of the new features can be found here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21
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".
You can download LyX 2.1.0 from http://www.lyx.org/Download.
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. Users who work with tables a lot
may therefore wish to disable auto-save.
We hope you will enjoy the result!
To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files. Rather than
over-write the original file immediately, LyX now saves the new file to a
temporary name and then renames the new file to the original filename only
after it has been written successfully.
The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.0.x). We strongly recommend that
packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.
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.
As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.0, either
email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.
You can download LyX 2.1.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
