Public release of LyX version 2.4.2
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
We are proud to announce the release LyX 2.4.2, the second maintenance
|
|
release in the 2.4.x series.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There has been a change (as of 2.4.0) in how the option to use vertical
|
|
space between paragraphs is handled. Previously, LyX simply modified
|
|
\parskip and \parindent, but this caused various problems (see bug
|
|
#4796). Now, we use the parskip package. As a result, however, and
|
|
to ensure there are no changes to old documents, when LyX files from
|
|
2.3.x and earlier are converted to the new format, if they were set to
|
|
use vertical space between paragraphs, the lyx2lyx conversion routine
|
|
adds
|
|
% Added by lyx2lyx
|
|
\setlength{\parskip}{\smallskipamount}
|
|
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
|
|
to the preamble and, within LyX itself, resets the text layout to use
|
|
indentation (so we do not issue the new code for vertical spacing). The
|
|
net effect is that PDFs generated with LaTeX (etc) look right, but in
|
|
LyX itself indentation is used.
|
|
|
|
This will happen with any document created with 2.3.x or older. It can
|
|
also happen with documents created from templates created with 2.3.x
|
|
or older, and even with new documents, if you had previously set them to
|
|
use, by default, vertical space. Templates are just LyX files saved in
|
|
the templates/ folder, and the 'defaults' are simply saved in a
|
|
template file, defaults.lyx. Hence, if you want the new behavior, or
|
|
just want the LyX document to look `right', then you will need to make
|
|
two changes to the document or template: Remove what lyx2lyx added, and
|
|
then set Paragraph Separation to Vertical Space.
|
|
|
|
You can download LyX 2.4.2 from https://www.lyx.org/Download.
|
|
|
|
If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
|
|
documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
|
|
will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX users'
|
|
list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). Bugs can be reported on our bug tracker
|
|
(https://www.lyx.org/trac/) or by writing the developers' list (lyx-devel at
|
|
lists.lyx.org).
