Public release of LyX version 1.6.8
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.8. This is the 9th
|
|
maintenance release in the 1.6.x series.
|
|
|
|
LyX 1.6.8 is the result of our ongoing efforts to make our stable version
|
|
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed crashes that have been
|
|
reported to us, ironed out many small glitches, further polished the user
|
|
interface, updated the documentation and added some new layouts.
|
|
|
|
A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems
|
|
are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.
|
|
|
|
While our next major release, LyX 2.0, has just reached beta status and
|
|
already can be tried out by the curious and brave, LyX 1.6.8 is the
|
|
release for everyone who is relying on a solid and polished application.
|
|
We thus encourage all users to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
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 1.6.8 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.8.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.8.tar.bz2
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.8.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.8.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/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.8.tar.gz
|
|
http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.8.tar.gz

|
|
http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.8.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/1.6.8/
|
|
|
|
If you already have the sources of the previous release (1.6.7), you may
|
|
want to apply one of the following patches instead:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.8.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.8.bz2
|
|
|
|
Note that for this release, some binaries have been added that are not produced
|
|
by the patch.
|
|
|
|
If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.8, you may either
|
|
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org),
|
|
or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/
|
|
|
|
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!

The LyX team.

|
|
behavior when exporting from command line. Now LyX overwrites the main
|
|
file by default, but not the ancillary files. Set this variable to
|
|
"all" for letting LyX behave as in 1.6.6 and previous versions; set it
|
|
to "none" for mimicking the 1.6.7 behavior of not overwriting any file.
|
|
|
|
- New layout and template file for submissions to journals published by
|
|
the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
|
|
|
|
- New layout and template file for submissions to journals published by

|
|
French letter class.

|
|
** Bug fixes:
|
|
*************
|
|
|
|
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
|
|
|
|
- Fix a crash when dropping multiple files onto LyX (bug 6944).
|
|
|
|
- Fix a crash due to unrecognized \defskip (bug 7014).
|
|
|
|
- Assure that Japanese LaTeX (pLaTeX) is in fact only used for Japanese
|
|
documents. This fixes major configuration problems with TeXLive 2010.
|
|
|
|
- Fix the output of glyph 0x02e0 (MODIFIER LETTER SMALL GAMMA) (bug 6817).
|
|
|
|
- Load the amsmath LaTeX-package when the math command \dddot is used to
|
|
avoid LaTeX errors (bug 6872).
|
|
|
|
- Do not popup "invalid path" warning when using View > Source (bug 6904).
|
|
|
|
- Small tweaks to the memoir text class.
|
|
|
|
- Allow pathnames with commas for BibTeX files (bug 6914).
|
|
|
|
- Set correct anchor for the link to the bibliography in the table
|
|
of contents if hyperref is used (bug 6470).
|
|
|
|
- Save the path of pasted images as a relative path (part of bug 5561).
|
|
|
|
- Don't escape math labels when saving (bug 7019).
|
|
|
|
|
|
* USER INTERFACE
|
|
|
|
- Do not allow to rename a format's short name if the format is used by a
|
|
converter. This prevents a crash (bug 6815).
|
|
|
|
- Fix crash when mutating eqnarray-like environments with labeled lines
|
|
to display equations (bug 6858).
|
|
|
|
- Disable cut and paste inside the Math Delimiters dialog. This was of no
|
|
use and could trigger a crash (bug 6942).
|
|
|
|
- Fix a crash when editing a macro name under some circumstances (for
|
|
example, when the macro is followed by a script inset and another
|
|
macro) (bug 6965).
|
|
|
|
- Fix an assertion when unindenting empty lines in a listings inset
|
|
(bug 6869).
|
|
|
|
- Box dialog: only shaded boxes can have multiple paragraphs if there
|
|
is no inner box (fixes also bug 6992).
|
|
|
|
- Fix mouse wheel scrolling on Mac OS 10.6 (bug 6775).
|
|
|
|
- Fix tab-switching keyboard shortcut (bug 5970).
|
|
|
|
- Fix parsing of inline math environments nested in (unknown to LyX)
|
|
text-mode user macros (bug 1337).
|
|
|
|
- When undo returns to a state where the file was saved, make sure to
|
|
reset the (changed) status (bug 3733).
|
|
|
|
- Don't allow to insert margin notes and floats into tables because this
|
|
would lead to LaTeX errors (bug 6844).
|
|
|
|
- Don't allow to insert margin notes and footnotes into captions because
|
|
this would lead to LaTeX errors.
|
|
|
|
- Fix handling of commands containing a straight quote (") in shortcut
|
|
editor (bug 6786).
|
|
|
|
- Use correct mode and screen fonts for old-style font changing macros
|
|
(\bf, \cal, \it, \rm, and \tt) in math (bug 6851).
|
|
|
|
- Retain the first non-empty label when mutating eqnarray-like environments
|
|
to a display equation (bug 6793).
|
|
|
|
- Load files in correct order when passed as arguments via the command
|
|
line (bug 6848).
|
|
|
|

|
|
need to be terminated by a newline character (bug 6868).
|
|
|
|
- Don't try to blindly execute the latex command if no latex binary is
|
|
available (bug 6873).
|
|
|
|
- Fix button link assignment in "Select from Template" dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Don't mark document as changed when navigating with cell-forward
|
|
or cell-backward.
|
|
|
|
- Correct check for enable condition of VC repository update.
|
|
|
|
- Correct enabled check for LFUN_MATH_NUMBER_TOGGLE.
|
|
Avoid implicit conversion of enum to bool.
|
|
|
|
- Fix some accelerator conflicts in Document Class dialog (bug 6963).
|
|
|
|
- Do not warn any changes will be lost when reverting to the
|
|
saved file if the document is clean (bug 6550).
|
|
|
|
- Restore the cursor position when showing hidden documents (bug 5878).
|
|
|
|
