Public release of LyX version 1.4.5.1
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.5.1. 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 (this feature requires python 2.3.4 or later).
|
|
|
|
The only change over release 1.4.5 is the addition to the distribution
|
|
of one file necessary to read and write lyx 1.5 files. Otherwise this
|
|
is the same announce of version 1.4.5 with the references to release
|
|
updated.
|
|
|
|
See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release.
|
|
|
|
In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
|
|
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
|
|
|
|
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
|
|
based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
|
|
is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.
|
|
|
|
LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great,
|
|
right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting
|
|
details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with
|
|
page boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's
|
|
legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good.
|
|
|
|
On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output --
|
|
or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks
|
|
like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs,
|
|
all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably
|
|
different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes
|
|
'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press.
|
|
|
|
LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully
|
|
internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the
|
|
Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.
|
|
|
|
You can download LyX 1.4.5.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.5.1.tar.bz2
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.5.1.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will
|
|
also host the .bz2 versions):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/lyx-1.4.5.1.tar.gz

|
|
http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/lyx-1.4.5.1.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
|
|
installers) should soon be available at
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.5.1/
|
|
|
|
If you already have the LyX 1.4.4 sources, you may want to apply one
|
|
of the following patches instead
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.5.1.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.5.1.bz2
|
|
|
|
Note that this patch will not produce valid LyX/Mac sources, since
|
|
some binary files have been added for this release.
|
|
|
|
If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.4.5.1, you may either
|
|
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org),
|
|
or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org
|
|
|
|
If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a
|
|
question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find
|
|
the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org).

|
|
Enjoy!
