Public release of LyX version 2.3.0
========================================
Public release of LyX version 2.3.1
===================================
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.0.
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.1. This is the first
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
With this release, LyX celebrates 22 years of existence. The 2.3 series
has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series.
You can download LyX 2.3.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
LyX 2.3.0 is the culmination of two years of hard work. An overview
of the new features can be found here:
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX23
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.
You can download LyX 2.3.0 from https://www.lyx.org/Download/.
LyX 2.3.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
reliable and more stable. <CONTINUE>
For Windows users, if you installed a pre-release of LyX 2.3.0, you
should uninstall that version before installing this newer release.
One oft-requested enhancement was to restore a keyboard shortcut for opening
the 'settings' menu of graphics, reference, etc, insets. This is now Control-
Alt-i, on Windows and Linux, and Control-Option-i on OSX (assuming you are
using the default keybindings).
We hope you will enjoy the result!
If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.1, please open a bug report at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.
If a file from an earlier version of LyX is opened *and saved* with
any version of 2.3.x, then the original file will automatically be
backed up. The backup file will be found in the backup directory, if one
is set under Tools> Preferences> Paths, or else in the same folder as
the original file, if no backup directory is set. The filename of the
backup file will be:
ORIGNAME-lyxformat-NUM.lyx~
where NUM is the LyX format number of the original file. In the case of
a 2.2.x file, this will be 508, but in the case of older files it will be
different.
If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
is at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
active community of people who are ready to help.
The file lib/RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.2.x). We strongly recommend that
packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.
As with any major release, this one comes with a lot of new features but
also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.0, either
email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome .
Please specify if the behavior you are reporting is different from behavior
in a previous LyX version.
If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX users'
list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).
We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.1.
The LyX team.
