Public release of LyX version 1.6.7
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.7. This is the eighth
|
|
maintenance release in the 1.6.x series.
|
|
|
|
From the list of fixes and improvements, we'd like to highlight
|
|
particularly that this release irons out all known stability problems with
|
|
Qt 4.6. LyX 1.6.7 is our first release that is supposed to run smoothly
|
|
with Qt 4.6, so we urge all distributors who use that version to upgrade
|
|
LyX as well.
|
|
|
|
A detailed list of changes is appended below, remaining known problems
|
|
are listed in the file RELEASE-NOTES.
|
|
|
|
All users are encouraged 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 1.6.7 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
|
|
which yields smaller files):
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.tar.bz2
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.7.tar.gz
|
|
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.7.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-1.6.7.tar.gz

|
|
http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.7.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/1.6.7/
|
|
|
|
If you already have the sources of the previous release (1.6.6.1), you may
|
|
want to apply one of the following patches instead:
|
|
|
|

|
|
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.7.bz2
|
|
|
|
If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.7, 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!

What's new in version 1.6.7?
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
** Updates:
|
|
***********
|
|
|
|
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
|
|
|
|
- New -f [--force-overwrite] command line flag. Without any argument (or
|
|
with 'all' as argument) all files are silently overwritten on export
|
|
from the command line. Using 'main' as argument, only the main file will
|
|
be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
- New preference setting for selecting what to do when existing files are
|
|
going to be overwritten on export from the GUI.
|
|
|
|
- Detect LyXBlogger, a LyX to WordPress Blog Publishing Tool, if installed
|
|
(bug 6658). See http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyXBlogger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* USER INTERFACE
|
|
|
|
- Layout and template file for document class "article (IEEEtran)" were
|
|
updated for IEEEtran 1.7a.

|
|
(bug 6672, part 1).

|
|
|
|
- Add GUI support for big delimiters variants without 'l', 'm' or 'r'
|
|
endings and for '<' and '>' with all variants.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
|
|
|
|
- New Greek translation of the Intro manual.

|
|
Japanese and Slovak user interace localizations.

- Updated LaTeX Configuration overview.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* BUILD/INSTALLATION
|
|
|

|
|
