Public release of LyX version 1.6.4
===================================
Public release of LyX version 1.6.4.1
=====================================
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.4. This is the fourth
maintenance release in the 1.6.x series. This release covers, amongst
many minor improvements, fixes to some rather severe issues, such as:
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.4.1. This is a small
update to LyX 1.6.4, which was the fourth maintenance release in the 1.6.x
series.
* A workaround to a nasty problem in recent Qt versions (Qt 4.5.0 up to
4.5.2) that made LyX crash if the document included images that were
scaled to certain sizes in the work area.
* Fixes to problems that might result in the loss of data.
* Many other stability improvements, thanks to a new debugging script that
helped to reveal uncovered critical bugs.
* Further fixes to the LaTeX importer (tex2lyx) and the conversion of
older LyX documents (lyx2lyx).
The only change over release 1.6.4 is the fix of a regression on the Mac,
which made some dialogs (such as Preferences and About LyX) unaccessible
via the menu. Other platforms than the Mac were not affected by the issue.
A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems
are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.

What's new in version 1.6.4.1?
------------------------------
** Bug fixes:
*************
* USER INTERFACE
- Revert an erroneous bugfix that was introduced with LyX 1.6.4:
"Disable some menu entries when the document windows does not have
focus on OS X (bug 1720)."
This re-enables the access to the Preferences and About LyX dialogs on
the Mac menu (other platforms were not affected).
