Public release of LyX version 1.3.6
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.3.6.
|
|
|
|
Unix and MacOSX users should consider this to be a bugfix release.
|
|
|
|
To Windows users, however, LyX 1.3.6 is the first version of LyX
|
|
to support the platform officially. This means that we've put a huge
|
|
effort into squashing those bugs that were present in Ruurd Reitsma's
|
|
unofficial ports to Windows. Large chunks of the code base have been
|
|
touched in an attempt to resolve these problems so whilst we're
|
|
confident that LyX/Win 1.3.6 will be the best ever version of LyX on
|
|
Windows, we cannot say that it's bug free.
|
|
|
|
We would like to highlight three fixes in particular:
|
|
* It is now possible to typeset files which reside in a directory with
|
|
spaces in its name; this requires a modern TeX implementation (such
|
|
as teTeX 3.0).
|
|
* It is possible to use Ctrl-PageDown and Control-PageUp (<cmd>-tab
|
|
and <cmd>-backtab with Qt/Mac) to switch between the open documents.
|
|
* LaTeX-type accents, ligature breaks and hyphenation marks are now
|
|
considered as part of words
|
|
|
|
The complete list of improvements and fixes can be found at the end of
|
|
this message.
|
|
|
|
In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
|
|
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
|
|
|
|
LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages
|
|
an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents,
|
|
not their appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving
|
|
details of visual layout to the software.
|
|
|
|
LyX was originally a Unix application, but now runs natively on
|
|
Windows and Mac OS X as well thanks largely to the cross-platform Qt
|
|
toolkit.
|
|
|
|
You can download LyX 1.3.6 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.6.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.6.tar.bz2
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.3.6.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.3.6.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will also host
|
|
the .bz2 versions):
|
|
|
|
http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/lyx-1.3.6.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/other/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.6.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.6.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.6.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.3.6.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt binaries (mainly rpms for linux distributions) should soon be
|
|
available at
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.6/
|
|
|
|
If you already have the LyX 1.3.5 sources, you may want to apply one
|
|
of the following patches instead
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.3.6.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.3.6.bz2
|
|
|
|
Note that this patch will not produce valid LyX/Win sources, since
|
|
some binary files have been added for this release.
|
|
|
|
If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.3.6, you may either
|
|
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel @ 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 @ lists.lyx.org).

Enjoy!
