Public release of LyX version 1.2.2
|
||||
Public release of LyX version 1.2.3
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
What is LyX?
|
||||
------------
|
||||
We are glad to announce the release of LyX 1.2.3.
|
||||
|
||||
LyX is an advanced open-source "document processor". Unlike standard
|
||||
word processors, LyX encourages writing based on the structure of your
|
||||
documents, not their appearance, It lets you concentrate on writing,
|
||||
leaving details of visual layout to the software.
|
||||
LyX 1.2.3 is a maintenance release. It mainly fixes a very bad bug
|
||||
where configuring LyX as root could lead to deleting the /dev/null
|
||||
special device (this does not impact users of prebuilt binaries).
|
||||
Also, a bug where LyX would create zombie processes has been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
With the familiar face of a WISYWIG word processor, LyX produces high
|
||||
quality, professional output -- using LaTeX, an industrial
|
||||
strength typesetting engine. No knowledge of LaTeX is required to
|
||||
use LyX; however, there is also a "TeX mode" which allows you to enter
|
||||
plain LaTeX commands.
|
||||
In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
|
||||
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
|
||||
|
||||
All in all, LyX is a complete environment for writing documents. It has
|
||||
superior support for scientific writing, but works well for any kind of
|
||||
document.
|
||||
LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages an
|
||||
approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their
|
||||
appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving details of
|
||||
visual layout to the software.

|
||||
What can LyX do?
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
A very incomplete feature list:
|
||||
|
||||
- "standard" word processing: fonts, cut & paste, infinite undo...
|
||||
- footnotes, citations, cross-referencing, faxes, spellchecking
|
||||
- almost any math expression (with a simple, but powerfull interface)
|
||||
- automatic, multilevel outline support (enumerated or bullets)
|
||||
- tables and embedded figures support (with automatic conversion)
|
||||
- import LaTeX or ASCII
|
||||
- export LaTeX, ASCII, DVI, PostScript, LinuxDoc-SGML, DocBook-SGML
|
||||
- fair support for non-English documents and/or menus
|
||||
- extensive documentation, including a tutorial
|
||||
- version control using RCS (some support for CVS)
|
||||
|
||||
How stable is LyX?
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This release is considered stable, but as with any software, you should
|
||||
take appropriate back-up steps in a production environment.
|
||||
|
||||
Where can I get it?
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
LyX is distributed under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL), which
|
||||
means that you can not only use it freely, but also modify and
|
||||
redistribute it, provided that you include the source of the program.
|
||||
LyX runs on many Unix platforms (including MacOS X), OS/2, and under
|
||||
Windows/Cygwin. Note that all these ports use the same xforms interface
|
||||
and therefore need an X server.
