Public release of LyX version 2.0.2 =================================== We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.2. This is the second maintenance release in the 2.0.x series. LyX 2.0.2 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. These are detailed below. We encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this version. 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 2.0.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/. If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.2, either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. 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 2.0.2. The LyX team. http://www.lyx.org What's new in LyX 2.0.2 ======================= There have been several improvements to LyX's ability to export documents in the background, so the program does not freeze during compilation. We hope to continue these improvements throughout the 2.0.x series. There have been major updates to the tex2lyx conversion script. Please see below for the details. The ctex document classes, used for Chinese documents, are now supported by LyX. Support for the Springer document classes has been updated for compatibility with the lasest versions. This has the side-effect that files, created with LyX 2.0.2 or future, using a Springer document class, will not be compilable with LyX versions older than LyX 2.0.2. The same applies for files created with LyX 1.6.10 or older that are saved with LyX 2.0.2 or future. ** Updates: ***********
