This is a maintenance -release. Besides the usual stability improvements and fixes, this release -comes with major improvements in the handling of Chinese, Korean and -Japanese (CJK) languages and scripts, and introduces some minor new -features (such as a character count option). +We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.5.5. Being the fourth +maintenance release in the 1.5.x cycle, this release further improves +the stability and usability of the application. Besides this, it also +introduces some new features. -While this release continues the stable 1.5.x series, work on the next -major release, 1.6.0, is proceeding. A first alpha version of LyX 1.6.0 -will be released later this week for those who like the bleeding edge -experience. Notwithstanding this, expect one or two more 1.5.x versions -to be released, of which the last one will be able to read the 1.6 format. +Most notably, LyX is now prepared to be compiled with Qt 4.4 that has +just been released: the stability issues that occured in previous +versions of LyX when compiled against Qt 4.4 have been resolved. -All users, especially CJK users, are encouraged to upgrade to this -version. - -Caveat: We were forced to switch from the LaTeX package 'floatflt' to -'wrapfig' for wrap figure floats due to a license problem that limited -the availability of the former package. In general, this should improve -your documents containing wrap figures, however, it is possible that the -look and positioning of the floats changes due to the package change. If -you have documents with wrap floats, please make a backup before upgrading -and check the output. +All users, especially users of Qt 4.4, are encouraged to upgrade to +this version.
