@ -5,6 +5,86 @@ The new features in LyX 2.0 are detailed in
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20
What's new in version 1.6.5?
-----------------------------
The release comes with many fixes and improvements. A number of newly
reported crashes were fixed, new layouts and modules were included and
some long-standing requests were implemented (e.g., a working LyX
server on the Windows OS, finally enabling the communication with other
applications such as JabRef on this platform as well).
What's new in version 1.6.4.2?
-------------------------------
The upgrade fixes recurring pseudo-crashes when running LyX on
Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
What's new in version 1.6.4.1?
-------------------------------
The only change over release 1.6.4 is the fix of a regression on the Mac,
which made some dialogs (such as Preferences and About LyX) unaccessible
via the menu. Other platforms than the Mac were not affected by the issue.
What's new in version 1.6.4?
-------------------------------
This is the fourth maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. This release
covers, amongst many minor improvements, fixes to some rather severe
issues, such as:
* A workaround to a nasty problem in recent Qt versions (Qt 4.5.0 up to
4.5.2) that made LyX crash if the document included images that were
scaled to certain sizes in the work area.
* Fixes to problems that might result in the loss of data.
* Many other stability improvements, thanks to a new debugging script that
helped to reveal uncovered critical bugs.
* Further fixes to the LaTeX importer (tex2lyx) and the conversion of
older LyX documents (lyx2lyx).
What's new in version 1.6.3?
-------------------------------
This is the third maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. Besides the usual
improvements of stability, the highlights of this release are:
* tex2lyx is now able to read files in all latex supported encodings and
transform them into the proper unicode-based format introduced in 1.5.0.
This paves the way for many other improvements in LaTeX->LyX translation
* The performance problems when editing a master with child documents have
been resolved.
* LyX 1.6.3 introduces some goodies provided by Qt 4.5 (menu support for
fullscreen mode in linux, close button on tabs). Of course these
improvements (as well as some Qt-related fixes) only show up if LyX is
compiled against Qt 4.5.
What's new in version 1.6.2?
-------------------------------
This is the second maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. The release
fixes a large number of major and critical bugs that were reported by
users of LyX 1.6.0 and 1.6.1. Most notably, three bugs that might lead to
dataloss were detected and resolved. Furthermore, a number of crashes,
file conversion and LaTeX output problems are fixed. As a bonus, the
performance of the application has been improved, and the release also
introduces some new features and user interface improvements.
What's new in version 1.6.1?
-------------------------------
This is the first maintenance release in the brand-new 1.6.x series, and
as such, it mainly focuses on bug fixes. We have ironed out some major
problems that slipped into the application in the wake of the new
features.

What's new in version 1.5.7?
----------------------------
This is the sixth maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle and it is
expected to be the final release in this series, since a new series of
stable releases has just been introduced by our new major release,
LyX 1.6.0. Besides the obligatory bug fixes, the main feature of this
release is the ability to read files created by LyX 1.6.0 (this feature
requires python 2.3.4 or newer).
What's new in version 1.5.6?
