Public release of LyX version 1.4.4
Public release of LyX version 1.4.5
===================================
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.4. This is of course
a bug fix release, but some new features sneaked in, among which:
- Outline support: it is now possible to move around parts of
documents in the Table of Contents dialog.
- Add new UI settings default-autotoolbars and default-alltoolbars
allowing to select what toolbars are active or shown automatically.
- Improved documentation.
- Speed improvments, especially on windows.
This is probably going to be the penultimate 1.4.x release before LyX
1.5.0, which will be made available as a first beta version later this
week. Before the release of the final 1.5.0, a least one 1.4.5 version
that is able to read the 1.5 format will be released.
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.5. This is expected
to be the last release in the 1.4.x stable branch. Besides the
obligatory bug fixes, its main feature is the ability to read files
created by LyX 1.5.0.
See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release.
