Public release of LyX version 2.3.1
Public release of LyX version 2.3.2
===================================
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.1. This is the first
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.2. This is the second
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series.
You can download LyX 2.3.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
You can download LyX 2.3.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
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.
LyX 2.3.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
reliable and more stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and added some new
features. Please see below for a full list. Perhaps the most important of
these is that Jean-Marc Lasgouttes re-wrote the document painting mechanism.
This makes LyX snappier, especially on repeated events.
LyX 2.3.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
reliable and more stable. One main fix involves a crash with external viewers
on Windows. We have also fixed a number of problems with the output of right-
to-left languages, thanks to the involvement of users. There was also an
infinite loop bug connected with the separation of environments that has been
fixed. But, for the most part, the fixes here are incremental. Please see below
for a full list.
All python scripts distributed with LyX should now be compatible with both
python 2.x and python 3.x.
One oft-requested enhancement was to restore a keyboard shortcut for opening
the 'settings' menu of graphics, reference, etc, insets. This is now Control-
Alt-i, on Windows and Linux, and Control-Option-i on OSX (assuming you are
using the default keybindings).
A change to how math macros are output can break some documents that use
ERT to comment out macros. Please see bug #11216 if you experience this sort
of problem.

aliasing is honored in the work area.
