Public release of LyX version 1.5.0 (release candidate 2)
|

Public release of LyX version 1.5.0
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.0 (release candidate 2).
|
||||
We expect this to be the last release before 1.5.0. We do not anticipate
|
||||
any further changes before 1.5.0, although any critical bugs and regressions
|
||||
in 1.5.0rc2 will, of course, be addressed.
|
||||
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.0.
|
||||
|
||||
We encourage users to try this release candidate and report
|
||||
any feedback or problems to lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org.
|
||||
Since the announcement of release candidate 2, we have fixed bugs and
|
||||
we have updated the documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the announcement of release candidate 1, we have mostly fixed bugs
|
||||
and polished the graphical interface.
|
||||
Following the ad hoc tradition of 1.5.0 pre-releases, called
|
||||
respectively Ruby (alpha), Towny (beta) and Quinta ("farm" in
|
||||
Portuguese for the release candidates) this release starts the Vintage
|
||||
selection that are (will be) the 1.5 series.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
LyX 1.5.0 is the culmination of 15 months of hard work since the release
|
||||
of the LyX 1.4 series. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the result.
|
||||
The changes are too numerous to summarize in a few words, but initial
|
||||
unicode support is the flagship among the new features. See the end of
|
||||
this announcement for further details.

|

As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
|
||||
visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and
|
||||
some of the new features are the direct results of this work.

The former is our official installer and the latter was previously known

as LyXWinInstaller. Please feel free to try either of them. Feedback
