What's new in LyX 2.0.4
What's new in LyX 2.0.5
=======================
Most of the improvements in 2.0.4 are bug fixes, some of them important. In
particular, we have fixed several crashes. The main outstanding problem is
the inability to cancel the background export process. Some improvement has
been made here, by updating the timeout mechanism, but more needs to be done,
and hopefully will be done for 2.0.5.
There have been several updates to LyX's XHTML export routines. Work on this
will continue for 2.0.5.
