Public release of LyX version 2.3.8
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.8. This is the eighth
|
|
and final maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. LyX 2.4.0 will be released
|
|
very shortly, so many users may wish to wait for that rather than upgrading
|
|
to 2.3.8. Some users, however, may want or need to continue using the 2.3.x
|
|
series. We encourage those users to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
You can download LyX 2.3.8 from https://www.lyx.org/Download/.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.3.8 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
|
|
more reliable and more stable. Several bugs and crashes have been fixed here,
|
|
but the main addition is the ability to import and export files in the new
|
|
2.4.x format.
|
|
|
|
One important note: Recent versions of Mac OSX do not include a working
|
|
version of Python. LyX needs this for proper functionality. See
|
|
"https://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac#toc2 for information on how to install
|
|
Python, if you need to do so. The most obvious sympton is that, on
|
|
startup, LyX reports that it will have 'minimal functionality'. Another
|
|
symptom is that images or previews do not display properly.
|
|
|
|
If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.8, please open a bug report at
|
|
https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
|
|
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
|
|
<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.
|
|
|
|
If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
|
|
that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
|
|
is at https://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
|
|
LyX users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
|
|
active community of people who are ready to help.
|
|
|
|
We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.8.
|
|
|
|
