We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.5. This is the fifth,
and final, maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
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 2.1.4 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

LyX 2.1.3 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
LyX 2.1.5 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
a number of improvements. Many of these were minor, but there were a
few crashes we fixed, too. We strongly encourage all LyX users to upgrade

few crashes we fixed, too. We strongly encourage all LyX users who wish
to continue using 2.1.x to upgrade to this version.
If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.4, please open a bug report at
One of the main features of 2.1.5 is its ability to read and write files
in the 2.2.x format. Since the conversion process back and forth usually
will not leave one with an identical file, however, we do not recommend
attempting to collaborate with users of 2.2.x.
If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.5, 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.
<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask. Note that, since this is the final release in
the 2.1.x series, you may want to try one of the newer 2.2.x releases. Some
bugs not fixed here are fixed there.
If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives 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).
We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.4.

What's new in version 2.1.5?
----------------------------
We have fixed a number of bugs and made a number of improvements. Many
of these were minor, but there were a few crashes we fixed, too.
Please note that this is the final release in the 2.1.x series. It is
intended for users who for some reason do not wish to upgrade to 2.2.x
at this time. We strongly encourage all such users to upgrade to this
version.
One of the main features of 2.1.5 is its ability to read and write files
in the 2.2.x format. Since the conversion process back and forth usually
will not leave one with an identical file, however, we do not recommend
attempting to collaborate with users of 2.2.x.
